My friend is a professional photographer and she often travels with all her equipment; however, she has never been to India. Do you think it's a good idea to take all her equipment with her or would it be easier if she could rent it there? Also, are there places where she can rent photo equipment?
I always carry my DSLR and all my lenses since it is difficult to get what you need. I am a professional photographer too and always carry my own kit. Renting stuff does not suit me as I spend weeks reading reviews of equipment that I would like to purchase.
I think renting would be a better as there are services in india like PHOTOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT RENTAL SERVICE in Bangalore Store and Pune Store.
If your friend likes her own camera she should bring it. The few photographers I know will not leave their cameras behind. They've gotten used to how the camera works and wouldn't want to have to relearn a new one.
