Has anyone bought the extended protection plans offered, such as SageMax at B&H? If you needed to use the protection plans were they easy to deal with? I am thinking about getting the 3 year extended plan for a new canon flash, either the 430EX II or 580EX II.
I don't buy them but what I have done is over the years I have taken the money that one would have cost and save it. Over the years it has amounted to $2200. I have had to take out a couple of times for repairs, one was for a Canon camera(1D Mk II N) and was $180, the other was to replace a P&S camera for about $400. When I use money out of the funds I add back to it as time allows.
