Are there any insurance companies that will cover 2 of my most used lens? At present I have them on with the house insurance. Yesterday I had a problem with my 200-500 with the zoom lock is jammed and I cannot zoom the lens. My insurance company told me it was a maintenance issue and not covered. This is the second time this has happened to the lens. I believe its a bad design. After the first repair I never use the zoom lock. The lens/camera have always been carried horizontal either on a cross chest strap for 3 days in January and the rest of the time hand holding it in the car or on a monopod. I'll call Lensrental Monday to see if they can remove the zoom lock from the lens. If they can't I'll get it repaired and put some tape over the zoom lock switch keeping it in the off permanently.
