Weekly Poll: How do you store your camera?

[Nicole]

Another quick on this week. This is a question I've seen a few times on the forums and thought it could make a decent poll question. So, how do you store your camera? Lens on? Or Lens off? Or does it not matter since you have a camera where you can't remove the lens?

Ok, discuss

I always have a lens on my camera, usually my 50mm f/1.4 or my Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8, so I'm always ready to shoot. I don't think I've ever taken my lens off except to change to another!

ditto that, i always have a lens on, never know when there might be a deer in the driveway or the kids being goofy. usually sits on the counter or my desk too LOL

Whatever lens was last used - stays on until changed.

I can't think of a good reason to take the lens off to put a body cap on.

I keep a lens on, usually the tamron 17-50, 'cause you'll never know when you see a beautiful shot so it's better to be prepared.

I always leave the lens on unless I'm putting my camera in my bag. Then I take it off about half the time. On the one hand, I prefer to have it ready to take a photo, but on the other I worry that it's more vulnerable to any banging around if the lens is on.

Me either, but I hear there are people out there

I store it with a lens on nearly all the time. However, sometimes when I'm taking my crumpler on the plane, I can pack more into the bag if the body and current lens are packed separately rather than attached. But that's only if I'm living out of the crumpler for the weekend

I keep the lens on. I only have the kit lens for the 40D and a Sigma 18-200. The Sigma stays on my cam all the time ever since I bought it.
