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
