Just to take the opportunity of this thread... For the future, I was guessing whether there's some form of reasonable insurance to cover me in case of these accidents. I don't think, in the sense that fortunately they happened seldom enough. In fifteen years, I dropped two lenses. A lens and a camera body failed in the electronics after the warranty expiration, and at a certain point I found a heavily decentered lens with no apparent reasons - I suppose someone in my family dropped it and didn't told me.   I suppose it lies in the normal rate of accidents and the overall costs are still less than those of an insurance...
