Our History
Primes & Zooms was started in 2012 by Abhijit Mutha in an attempt to provide photographers in Pune a way to test and try cameras and lenses before buying them. The concept was received very well by our early customers who provided tremendous support and encouragement and helped us grow very fast in a short span of time.
We started out in 2012 with a line-up of 2 Canon cameras and a handful of lenses. Towards the end of 2012 we became one of the earliest rental houses to start carrying Nikon gear. In 2015, we started our Sony line-up with Sony's SLT series of cameras and lenses. Today we are the only rental house in India to carry more than 500 SKUs across the widest range of camera systems: Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic and Leica L.
