Blow - or brush - it off before putting it back on the lens ☺☺☺

The lens stays on the camera. A nikon 70-200mm and a nikon D500, a clear filter and the lens hood in the inservice position. Camera is never switched off even when removing or replacing memory cards or batteries Camera 2 is a D7200 with a 18-300mm or sigma 17-70mmin the same condition. Putting lens caps in pockets is ridiculous, full of fluff and dust. The best way to ruin cameras and lenses. Fortunately the 70-200 and the D500 are sealed and have been used in the pouring rain.
You've got to kidding. The best way to ruin a camera or lens?
God knows what's in your pockets, but there is no fluff and dust in mine. I've been doing it for 40 years. The caps are just as clean when I take then out of my pockets as they were going in.Aug 9, 2018 09:53:04 #

So where do you keep your lens cap when it is not on the lens?

I have not read all the pages of this post so I don't know if this has already been mentioned. I like the Sensei Clip-on Cap Keeper. They are a little pricey at $8.69 at B&H, but cheaper than buying multiple caps over the years. I find it convienient. It clips on the camera neck strap. The only problem I've had with it so far is that I forgot I had it and looked all over the church trying to find where I had put my cap. I didn't find it until I got home and saw it in the cap holder on my camera strap.

I've lost so many darn lens caps over the years... it's pathetic..... Good thing they're not too expensive! With my present camera, which came with a string for attaching the cap to the camera, I attached the string ONLY to the lens cap. That extra cord dangling off the cap seems to help me pay better attention to when I place the thing, usually in a convenient pocket...
Also, with all my hand held cameras, I attach a filter (UV or Skylight) "permanently" to help prevent accidentally scratching the lens -- I'm a bit clumsy these days, so if hiking in the hills with my camera slung over my shoulder -- if I bump into a rock or something -- the filter takes the initial brunt... :o)

i find a string very useful and have used one for years - you can buy a set of them thru amazon for a coupla $ -- a small stickon for the cap, with elastic around the lens. doesnt get in the way, and much harder to lose the lens cap

Why are shouting, and who is the "he" to which you are referring? Using "Quote Reply" when you post helps eliminate confusion.

Reports are that the world is choking
in plastic debris. About half of all that
plastic is from lens caps I keep losing.
Like most any typical polluter, I have
no plans nor incentives to change my
evil ways. Bwwwahha hahahhaww !
