We all tend to develop our own habits when working with the tools of our
craft. In general I put a quick release plate on my cameras, take the neck
strap off and go naked on the front of my lens. When I recently bough a
NEX 7 I bought UV filters for both of my expensive lenses with relatively
large front elements. A few minutes ago as I was carrying the 10-18mm to put
it in my stash cabinet, I hit my hand on the edge of the couch, knocking the
lens out. I landed on the wood floor destroying the lens cap, UV filter
and putting a couple of gouges in the front element. Double ugh! Don't
know what the lesson is, however it is insured. Wonder if there was some bad
camera karma from putting the UV filter on the front of the lens. Bill
