Own a Nikon D7000? Well according to the latest infographic from Lenstag, either lots of D7000 owners were careless or thieves really want one–but in this case it seems like many. According to the infographic above, the D7000 was the most stolen camera of 2013. Interestingly enough though, Canon lenses were stolen the most. The latter makes a ton of sense: when I was a former pit shooter, photographers would very often misplace their lenses or things would end up just gone. Otherwise though, the 70-200mm f2.8 L IS II is still also a very sought after lens that is quite expensive and yields wonderful image quality.

We did an interview earlier this year with the guys at Lenstag, and you should check it out to see how your gear can be protected.
