10.5 F/2.8 Nikon

18-70 kit lens
35-70 F/2.8 Nikon
2x SB800
1x SB600
1x SB80DX
Cords,diffusers,stands,accessories etc,etc
Holy Dooly, didn't realise what lust can do to you
Anyone suggest, recommend insurance or is it best through household insurance? Is there a process that may be best followed? Do you need travel cover as well or is it covered in general insurance on the items?
Cause right now I have none, except for household insurance.

Im very interested in this as well.

Recently I just hear from a friend of mine that she got her house borken in and robbed, nobody was home/hurt, but she lost her jewellery, laptop and precious files inside...

Im now very afraid that this could happen to me with my gears and laptop, since no jewellery of any kind can be found in my room, but sure there are expensive glasses around...

I'd red your household insurance cover carefully - you may not even be covered there. You might need to make individual declarations on expensive items to your insurance company to get these covered.

Has anyone tried the nikonians.com insurance, 'Niksecure'??

I am looking at/for worldwide policies so that I am covered here, Aus, and during any travel.... any suggestions, anyone?

What do those who travel a lot (ie overseas), do? Do you get separate, short-term insurance for each trip?
