It's different for me. Sometimes the cap's on, sometimes off, sometimes there's no lens on the camera, sometimes there's a lens with a hood, sometimes I'm at home, sometimes in my car or out on the street. I just don't worry or think much about it. If the cap's on, I'll be removing it for shooting anyway, 'cause once the film is in the camera there's usually no reason to have the lens capped.
