For others faced with a similar problem, the deal with the package I'm getting from aaduki:

 

- Cover "at home" for the full value year round

- Cover in use for up to £14000 at any one time (which suits the way I work)

- Limit on cash value of single items set at £10,000

- up to 60 days world wide a year

- up to £2000 hire fees per claim if needed..

 

Chris, does this include any cover for gear left in unattened vehicle?

regards

Ian

Like John Dobson, our household is insured with Norwich Union Tapestry. My Leica kit is registered with them and it is a new for old policy. If the product is discontinued, then they will supply a suitable new product. When I had my R9/DMR and a couple of lenses stolen, I agreed my losses with the adjuster, in conjunction with a letter from Frank Foster at Photo Design Studio (from whom I purchase most of my kit). After that they agreed to just let me get on and replace the kit and they sent me a cheque.

 

If you have a discontinued item, the you'll have to ask for the nearest equivalent. Hence if you lose your RD-1S, then I would go for a Leica M8 and ask your friendly camera purveyor to help you. The loss adjusters and their companies are not experts in camera gear.

 

Best wishes,

 

Charlie
