Craig,
While this doesn't help you on this occasion, one solution is to
separately schedule your camera gear on your homeowners policy. You
will be charged a separate premium for the coverage but you have fuller
coverage both with respect to amount covered and the risks/perils that
will be covered.
I can appreciate your position - I had my 100-400 IS fall on the floor
in the middle of B.C.'s Georgia Strait when our boat hit a bad sea...The
UV cracked but the basic lens came out unscathed.....
