Originally posted by itshimitis I have most of my insurances with Hiscox. Home and car insurance. Not the cheapest but very comprehensive. The end of the lens that provides when you focus is loose if if it is held pointing down. Push it back in and the lens works fine from 28 to 41. I have trips to Venice and New York coming up so may leave it until after them to send it off.
When I worked with various insurance companies, around 7 years ago, Hiscox were the best of the best, far more reasonable to deal with and really focussed on customer satisfaction. That bodes well, but lens repairs can take a while so I'd send it off now for a quote ASAP, as you'll need that for the insurance.
