I was eating lunch at the gristmill for father's day and we were sitting waiting for our table when my camera slipped from my lap. Simple tumble that has happened a couple times before. But there was one rock. With the cap on this was the result. The rocket fish lens guard saves the day! I'm buying a few more!!

There are two schools of thought on this. Some say putting a filter on your lens is like shooting pictures through a window. I'm on the fence. Two of my lenses have "protective" UV filters and four do not. I think most can at least agree that, if you're going to put a filter on a high quality lens, it should be a high quality filter. My filters cost $56. In your case, glad you had it on!

That is what insurance is for. I insure ~$10,000 of gear for less than $100 a year. That is repair or replace insurance. No deductable.

Mike, I insure all my photo gear through my homeowners insurance. You have to schedule it on something called a jewelry floater. It's not expensive at all. It covers all your camera gear for any accident or theft. You can drop it overboard, it's covered as a total loss and they will replace it. If you drop a lens and it breaks, but is repairable, it will be repaired at no cost. Casey can vouch for it's effectiveness as he had a Canon 70-200L f2.8 roll off his Ranger and break, literally in two. Canon repaired it, and his insurance picked up the tab. If your gear is stolen, it's covered.
