£1500 worth of jessops vouchers just showed up from my insurance company!
I got to say they ere really good I just phoned up and told them what happenned it pretty much just went straight thru, £100 excess

thanks to jonny for having the bright idea to claim else I wouldn't have even thought of it

so who wants to buy £1500 of jessops vouchers ? :o)

j/k I am gonna go see if I can get a new 30d in a bit - might go for a different lens though

Insurance companies have been giving vouchers instead of cash for a long time now :(

Obviously Spanno took the insurance policy with the small print that states you are covered to take a rucksack full of expensive photography equipment out on a pub crawl in London and get completely mashed and drunkenly leave the bag on the bus or something.

I was pretty surprised it was on my natwes home insurance. It says on the claim letter its underwritten by direct line.I phoned and told them what happenned and they asked if I had receipts and I said yea (even though I lost some of them). A few days later someone from jessops called me to confirm some stuff then a few more calls because it was a high £'s claim and then they sent the stuff today

Yes opt for the bigger lense.

The standered lens sucks, but the bigger one is good.
