One of the most daunting tasks many photographers neglect is to record serial numbers and take photos of their equipment for insurance purpose. Most professionals have to do this tedious chore as part of their business insurance package as gear is expensive and often financed.
The enthusiast Mamiya user usually collects their equipment, one piece at a time, sometimes over a period of years. They hope their camera stuff is insured through their home or tenant's insurance.
If you stuff is stolen or lost it is a good idea to have ready for the insurer a list of your gear with serial numbers and photos. Please note: it is very difficult to put a value on used lenses and cameras which have been out of production for many years. You might have to pay a camera store to make valuations based on your photos alone.
Depending on the value of gear you might want to speak with your insurance agent anyway.
Think about it!
