Insurance

Everything was ok and all covered under my contents insurance until I just purchased the big 500mm canon and now Im struggling as I need it covered indoors and outdoors. Can anyone recommend a good company to go with as the specialist photographic companies seem to want silly amounts for £17000 of cover :-( Thanks

Have you spoke to your home contents insurance provider or looked at a different home contents provider.

As long as you’re not a pro tog then really worth looking at the home contents with cover outside home, providing s/n for the higher value stuff.

I find it really cos5 effective for more cover than you’re looking at although i dont have a 500mm prime in the mix

My 800, 300, 100-400 lenses (+ other gear) raised my house buildings + contents cover by less than 10% for "all risks" cover so long as I don't take them off Planet.

Well worth asking your existing insurers as dedicated camera insurance was one and a half times the cost of covering my gear + my house and contents!

Ditto, but for my 600 f4 and 200 1.8...you have to name them and everything else is covered under £2000 value.

Perfect and yes all sorted all of it insured under house contents now for an awesome price [emoji122]

Roughly the same in my case.

Double check the small print. A friend of mine found he wasn’t insured after all because he had a website and was therefore considered a professional. Sorry I don’t know which company it was, but they didn’t cover him when he dropped and damaged a lens.
