Should one remove the lens from a camera when stowing? Is there ever an appropriate time to leave the camera without a lens? (of course, meanwhile, covering the lens opening)? Hopefully, you get the idea of my question.
Nope. I don't like to remove my lenses any more than I have to. That's why, whenever I buy a new lens, I also buy a new body for it. I might look strange walking around with six cameras dangling from my neck, but carrying the extra weight is good exercise, and the chicks dig it.
Seriously, I leave an 28-300mm on one body and a 16-28mm on the other. When the need arises, I use another lens. My D600 sensors are still spot-free.
