It was not depreciated. It has been a while since I had the problem, but when my CLE with a Summicron 35 was stolen, the insurance company paid for a new M6, since the CLE was out of production. I bought a used 28 Elmarit to replace the 35. Of course, the deductible applied. Check with your agent to be sure.
