Martin,

months time
necessary to shop around and the law degree to understand the technical
babble<<

You don't have to shop around - if you already have homeowner's or renter's
insurance. Just call your agent and ask about an "all-risk" rider for photo
equipment. Also ask what your existing limit is for camera equipment. Then
compare to Passport protection. Should take you all of about 5 minnutes -
and is likely to save you a lot of money. "All-risk" is pretty easy to
understand.
