I've rented from Calumet before

They are very good people and I highly recommend them

I rent lenses every so often. If I'll have something for a full week I rent from online, but for a weekend you're on the right track using a store.
I don't know about the places in Philly, but in NYC I usually can pick up a lens on Friday afternoon/evening and return it Monday morning for the 1-Day Rate. This means stuff like 300mm f2.8's for <$50 for 2 days/three nights of shooting. See if any of your local stores offer that!

NYCv is good they have sensible rates, I rented everything from lighting to booms and lenses. Calumet is the pro's choice in the city, obviously knowledgable staff, can be somewhat intimidating. NYC has tons of places...
