I asked about my 70-200mm f2.8, as I bought that second hand for ~£945, and they said that the policy is new for old, regardless of whether the item was actually new when bought... I asked the guy to confirm that if I dropped my £945 lens into a river, that they would cover me for a brand new, retail lens currently selling for £1500 and he said "Yes, we would look to have the finds for replacement with you within 7 days, maybe 10 if you are abroad"So depending on your moral compass, just make sure your grey market camera is well insured!</blockquote>
