Panasonic LUMIX BASE TOKYO, a very popular online rental service, is running a special year-end and New Year campaign.
It would be good to see more companies offering direct rental services in different countries. Renting directly online from a manufacturer makes a lot of sense.

For the price of a standard 2-night, 3-day rental, they will lend items to you for up to 20 days.
This campaign offers a 20-day rental period (shipments from 16th to 26th December), including the year-end and New Year holidays.
You may select up to two items from the LUMIX S series and G series cameras and lenses.
Order Period
Until 14:00 on Friday, 26th December
Dispatch Date
To be specified at the time of order between Tuesday, 16th December and Friday, 26th December. Monday 22nd December is a regular closing day and cannot be selected.
Return Date
The rental period will automatically be set for 20 days at the time of order.
Restrictions
Maximum of two units per person.
Cannot be used if other equipment is currently rented.
Some equipment is not available under this campaign.
Stock is limited for each model. Orders are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Shipping is free, but return postage is at the customer’s expense.
As this is a special campaign, the period cannot be extended.
