Yes, almost all of my gear gets lent out regularly. It lets people try other things and see what they like. It is just gear, if it gets broken, it is replaceable.
The more annoying part of that is when I spend hours looking for something I know I have only to find out I lent it to somebody a year ago and it never came back.
