Equipment insurance...

[jemdna]

Hey its this ol' thread again!

Now usually people are asking for insurance prices in regards to professional use but I'm more looking for an insurance policy that will cover my equipment for personal use. Now some people suggest home contents cover will sort it but does that also work when I'm out and about?

The equipment im mainly looking to cover would be...

Nikon D50
Nikon 18-105 VR
Nikon 70-300
Nikon Speedlight Sb-600

If possible it would be nice to also cover my old 35 mm cameras including:

Yashica AF230
Canon EOS 1000
Yashica 28-80mm Macro
Yashica 70-210mm
MIRAGE 100-200mm F5.6

Now i know the film stuff can't be replaced with same equipment but a bit of reassurance that if the worst did happen, I can at least have some partial money towards a similar item would be nice

I think you need to ask your insurers that question.

Just spoke to the insurance company for our contents, and due it being a saturday they won't be able to let me know until monday. However they do have a section which I can add to the policy (if need be) for "Personal possessions up to the value of "X"" Now when quoting that figure do I go for 2nd hand value for replacement or what it would cost to purchase new (or the equiv')
