I'm thinking of removing all my lens-caps now, like I said what could hurt a lens in your bag. I'm now protecting the front element against the soft padding of the bag

Gwyn I only once got a reply from de Beukelaer so I'm going to look up the number of Pentax EU instead.
I know all the other brands have student programs, some offer discount and/or service.
With the 645D they have a nice student camera I believe so lets hope they see a market for it.

Strange question but oddly, when you see promotional images of bags the lenses displayed rarely, if ever, are shown with caps.
But lets be honest, is there something in a camera bag that would/could damage your lenses?
The whole padding inside mine bags are soft, no zippers or anything.

In my defence I did leave that complicating detail off my compatibility table! (I just used the word 'probably' in reference to vignetting)

What do Sony owners Know about lense, or cameras come to that.
I'm sure Sony owners know a lot about Lense but not an awful lot about lenses

I do simply switch the rear cap but the front cap gets into the part where the camera was as well, that part is quite big I can fit the DFA 100mm with hood there without a problem. The DA*50-135 however is a problem but I mostly try to find the time to find the front cap for that lens.

Why can't lens manufactures coat the lenses the same way Apple does with its Iphone???

I have previously removed my UV filters as I am sure now that they serve little purpose and always use a hood on any lens in use and will try "Stefanising" my lenses on my next outing. It will certainly save time!
Let's see what more we can remove from the lens
Still need to try it out, didn't have the time to go out and shoot today
I would think one of the biggest dangers would be to reach into a bag and put a nice greasy fingerprint right in the centre of a lens.
If you have a routine that never alters, putting a lenscap on is not exactly time consuming.
One of my problems is that I use a wrist-strap so I can't let go of the camera easily so I'm juggling with my lenses with one hand.
