My experience is that leasing is a common practice and a number of companies
offer this option depending upon the client, equipment and etc.  Just ask the
persons whose equipment your looking at.  Leasing does have the advantage of
creating a lower cost per month than purchase.  Look at the disadvantages as
well.
