Hi,
Hate to pour water on your theory BUT 6 or 7 years ago my OM1/50 1.8 were
stolen. Fortunately my insurance broker worked with the adjuster and in the
end I ended up with an OM-4/50 1.4 - they were all that was available at
the time. The insurance company issued the cheque direct to the camera
dealer and the whole transaction only took a couple of days. In chatting
with my broker he confirmed that the insurance company would rather pay for
the more expensive camera than pay to replace all the lenses (4) that I had
for the Oly system if I ended up with another camera system. Best part was
they recovered the OM! some 8 months later in another province and I was
able to buy it back from the insurance company for less than market.
