JeTexas Posted July 14, 2011 Share #21 Posted July 14, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) What insurance did you use. I'm leaving for Rio Saturday and was trying to get some through State Farm, but I struck out. My agent said to try ppa.com, but I'm not a member there.

squarenegs Posted July 15, 2011 Share #22 Posted July 15, 2011 like this? EDIT: SWMBO would actually be very happy to have one - if only for its rarity. PM if available. Good Lord, please tell me that it is a Photoshop fake. It is almost as ugly as that Porsche titanium pixel burner.

SJP Posted July 15, 2011 Share #24 Posted July 15, 2011 Indeed it is the ultimate negation of Leica pomposity and you do not need smile detection any more. I still want one otherwise my wife will kill me:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkk Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share #25 Posted July 16, 2011 Hi JeTexas, I am German, so I contacted that insurance company in Germany. But I think it is an international (Swiss) company. I did not find info in English: Willkommen bei der fairsicherungsberatung Fairsicherung - Verbund der Fairsicherungsläden - Home Not sure about their service, in case sth. happens. I hope I will not have to find out, but rates seemed to be ok. I also did not compare companies. I just looked for recommendations within this forum, and I picked that one. Maybe someone here has a experience with another (English) insurance company?? Anyone? Falk What insurance did you use.

ramosa Posted July 16, 2011 Share #26 Posted July 16, 2011 Tape can help, but insurance is even better. I am confused by the iphone analogy, as many more people (street thieves included) recognize an iphone (with tape or not) than a Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
codocee Posted July 16, 2011 Share #27 Posted July 16, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I tape my M8 and also taped a Canon 5D on all corners and logos. Surprisingly when I stripped off all the gaffers on the 5D to sell, it was scratch free and required very little in the way of gook removal. I am of the belief that it helps prevent some of the hard knocks I've put them through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougg Posted July 25, 2011 Share #34 Posted July 25, 2011 I seldom have people comment on any camera I might be using. Typically, I carry the camera strap over one shoulder so that the camera is between my side and my elbow, so it's not really easy to see what it is except when actively using it. A long lens or lens hood does draw more attention though. The last comment was when snapping a young lady smoking in the alley behind her employer's business, and she asked if it was a film camera. It was an M8. I also recall a gent staring hard at my Fuji GS645S in Honolulu, probably wondering what that 'roo-bar thing was on the lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

epand56 Posted July 26, 2011 Share #36 Posted July 26, 2011 I seldom have people comment on any camera I might be using. When I use my M8 they usually look at me with a tender smile, sort of "look at grandpa taking picture with his war-surplus camera". Someone even laugh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
