in Canada, I was referred to a company that has specific policies for
people like me who have computers, cameras, lenses etc, and other
equipment which they work with on a regular basis and use them as
part of their work.
The policy is very reasonable - $750 for $25,000 coverage
(replacement value) - I even have my BlackBerry covered. At the
moment I have loaner lenses and those are covered as well.
