to a normal insurance company. Here 
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.
