Equipment freak !

[covboy]

I finally convinced myself I’m an equipment freak last night.!

I recently decided to do a complete inventory of all my gear, so found everything I could and listed it – Looking at the final list, I decided that there was some stuff I could do without (ebay here I come) and was a bit surprised with the amount of gear I’d collected.

Then, last night, to cap it all I opened up a bag I hadn’t used for about six months only to discover a lens I’d completely forgot I had !!!

It bought home to me I must start to concentrate more on the photographs, rather than what I’m taking them with.

Anyone else lost track of some of their gear ?

I tend to find it alarming when insurance renewal time comes around, had to ask mine to cover another £5k of kit this year.

Looking at their twitter feed (dead since November), their "problems with phone line" website message and their non-response to my enquiry last week, I concluded they might have gone under. If that's that not the case, it's not a great encouragement to new business.

I've never had anything but great service from them, by email and phone. It does seem to be a small operation but actually part of a much bigger insurer.
