I usually hold the lens I'm putting on the camera between my thumb and
forefinger of my left hand and the lens coming off with my palm and the
remaining fingers of that hand. Obvious this doesn't work with
relitively large lenses. It's fast and I've only dropped the 43mm
limited once, (managed to get my foot under it, solid little lens,
stings after a drop of 4 feet), and the A 24mm f2.8 has been dropped
once, I wasn't able to interpose my foot that time. Still not a bad
record during the time I've been using K mount cameras, (since the MX
was introduced).

I usually change lenses with little drama. I never gave the release
switch much thought. I'll try to get annoyed next time.

This would actually really screw me up (horses for courses, I guess).
For me: I always have the camera facing away from me - right hand gripping it,
reach in with the ring finger, push the lever, and twist off with the left hand
(still looking up at the stage or whatever my subject is). Throw lens into bag
with left hand, grab other lens, spin it onto the body and keep shooting. My
RH index finger barely even needs to come off of the shutter button.
I can't imagine taking the time to flip the camera around to do all of this...
where? On a tabletop or something?
I usually change my lenses "on the fly" unless I'm setting up a static shot on
a tabletop at home.
