Lens Warranty Question

quick question to all of the guys who upgraded and bought a much better lenses specially the L one thats cost a more than 1k. did you guys bought an extra warranty for your lenses ? because when i bought my 50mm 1.8 the guy from beachcamera is offering me an extra warranty for $29.99. i declined it unfortunately since im not gonna be abusing the lens and probably gonna used it on weekends. should i get it or not on my next purchase of a better and more expsive lens ?
thanks all

My case is diferent from you, I live in Spain and I did buy the 300 f/4 L IS at B&H in my last travel to NYC. It was around $1000. The problem is that the Canon USA warranty doesn´t cover the problems that I would have here. So I did buy a "grey market" with the 3 years Canon International warranty that covers me (for just $15 more !!).

Is up to you, but I think that just send a few bucks more to extend the warranty of your L expesive lens is more than worth !! (just 3 beers less in NYC; a lot more here but ....)

Nismoser,

I think that a 30$ warranty on a 80$ lens is a bit out of proportion.
Especially considering what that 30$ warranty will cover (or - more to the point - possibly exclude)

Best regards,
Andy

so is it worth buying an extra warranty when getting a new lens specially the expensive ones.
