I would insure it for what I paid for it, or for replacement cost + shipping/insurance on the same NEW lens or body, or for used market price of a LNIB replacement, whichever is the greater cost.

Also, be sure to keep an eye on prices of new gear and adjust your coverage accordingly.

An example: My MP cost me $2495 American; it now sells for $4000 American + S&I.

My MP & 3 lens kit has increased in new price by 30-35% since I bought it. Don't get left holding THAT bag!!

JMHO...
