Ok, so I guess it's possible. ;) I find a far greater risk in trying to juggle two lenses and the body during a hasty lens change. In other words, I never worry about accidentally removing the lens from my camera, but do worry every time I've got two lenses in my hands and a DSLR dangling around my neck while I fumble with caps and the bag. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
