About
Lumen Loan Gear Share
Lumen Loan is a Mission District gear share owned by a working photographer and a sound engineer. We lend cameras, drawing displays and audio recorders through Studio Beyond Us at prices built for students, so film, animation and music majors can shoot, draw and record with professional tools. Every booking includes a five-minute walkthrough at pickup.
