And by friends I mean close friends that you trust, that take photography and treat their equipement with as much respect as you treat their own?
Did you lean towards choosing one system (lets say Canon or Nikon for simplicity's sake) because the majority of your local, real-life photog friends used that system, enabling everyone to share their equipment to try out.
If you're totally averse to borrowing/lending camera gear, that is fine, nothing wrong with that, but then no need to reply to this thread, this question is posed towards those who are cool with it.
My own personal experience is my friends into photography are pretty much split down the middle of the Nikon Canon camps so that really didn't influence my choice of system, but I do know my Canon friends who happen to know each other do lend each other their speciality L prime or zoom lenses to each other from time to time. it's nice to be able to use an 85mm f 1.2 L for a day without having to pay rental fees or buy one.
Likewise I was able to borrow my friends Nikon mount Tokina 12-24 f4 just to compare with my 11-16 f 2.8 because I'm thinking of changing my UWA.
