[largeformat] value on 11x14 lens

[Ted Harris]

You dropped you own it is a strange attitude in a business/formal  
education situation, at least to me.  I am a photographer, an  
educator and teach in large format workshops.  In fact, Richard  
Ritter and I are doing one this weekend.  The point being that every  
piece of photo equipment that I own is insured as part of my business  
policy.  If someone drops a lens at a workshop I will be very very  
very unhappy and may try to collect something from them but the  
bottom line is that my recourse is my replacement value insurance  
policy.  I can't understand any kind of a business that lets people  
use its equipment, or otherwise puts it at risk by taking it  
outdoors, etc. .... doing so without being adequately insured.  In  
this instance a school is a business.  Sorry for sounding harsh but  
the cost of insurance only seems expensive until you have one  
uninsured loss like this.
