I should point out that Lumoid is a YC S13 company :). Earlier YC blog post on Lumoid here -> http://blog.ycombinator.com/lumoid-yc-s13-wants-to-rent-you-...

[Disclaimer: I'm married to the founder]

This makes a lot of sense, especially for anything used infrequently, with a long lifetime, and with search costs (where having a nice pre-assembled kit is worth a premium to most users).

Yeah, definitely could have used this a few years back when loading up on camera gear for a big safari vacation. I've used the lenses a few times since then, but mostly stick with one or two go to options. The rest sit on a shelf.
