I set the amount based on what I paid for them.  The 50mm f1.2 was a  
particularly good deal.  Hmm, the 90 wasn't such a bad deal at the  time.  Like 
new in box with documentation.  I then didn't revisit the  situation until I 
had a claim.  Not so smart, Mr. Insurance guy.  It  will all work out.  I 
may not be "whole" however I think I'll get  close.  I have no problem with 
deductibles, however the under-insuring was  a deductible I created for 
myself.  Bill Barber

Who set  the values for the 90mm and 50mm 1.2?  You arbitrarily or you 
and  some agreed on documentation or... ?
