Cosmetics are not covered. One of our photographers dropped a Nikon, it had a dent the size of Kentucky...but didn't impair its function at all...they said it wasn't covered. The resale value of the camera was severely reduced by this damage..but that's was just too bad for us. Let's see... A Noctilux with no damage to the glass, or a Noctilux with a scratch in the front element....would you pay the same for both? Even though, you KNOW it has no effect on the actual image... Cheap insurance, in my book, is a filter... - ------------------
