Re: Worth of equipment
If you want to know how much it would cost to replace, go to
ffordes photographic : Main Index And check their used prices. Most things are there. If you policy is "new for old", that's more difficult with stuff that isn't made any more.

Re: Worth of equipment
You might want to read my dilemma posted in this same forum today (April 10) about my tri-elmar. The long and short of it is you might not actually be able to insure some of it (whatever is out of production).

Re: Worth of equipment
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...
