Renting Optical Equipment?

Does anyone know of a good place to rent optical equipment? We were looking for a place to rent us an auto refractor in one of our centers awhile back but no one had anything. Any ideas?

I know Topcon has many "Loaners" for when our equipment needs to be sent away for service/repairs.
Perhaps you could make some arrangment with them to rent one?

Could also check with some of the used equipment dealers, they may be able to get you a short term lease.

Rent or lease. Big difference

This is probably a good bet. We definitely would just want to rent as we would only need them for a few weeks at a time.
