Do you carry your body and lens attached or separate?

I have a hybrid approach...if merely enroute to some location (e.g. flying), the body is without lens. If walking about (or driving around on holiday), a lens stays on the body.

always lens attached to a body. saves time, and just means i don't have to expose the body with nothing attached.

I used to carry them all attached, in fact that's why I had 3 bodies, so I'd never have to change lenses.

But, now down to one body...so the Tok 11-16 will live on that (99.9% of my shots), and carry my other two separately

That's interesting. You mean that you would think twice before chaning your lens outdoors even if you think a shot would be better with a lens that produces "the right" perspective?

I don't bang my stuff around, but I see my camera and lenses as tools, and tools get worn with time...

I nearly always carry the three lenses listed with me, I would swap them if the conditions were suitable for sure, but only after considering those conditions, typically I have one of the zooms on so it's less of a issue.
As an amateur though they are not my tools but expressions of an expensive hobby x 2 (My wife is also a keen amateur and we always go out together), so I would like the wear and tear to be minimal

Always mounted, usually the 24-105 by default.

If the bag won't let me attach a lens, then I don't own that bag...
I don't buy useless stuff too often.

I always carry the lens attached to the camera. Unfortunately, I only have 2 bodies and 9 lenses, so 7 will have no bodies attached. I guess I just need to buy more bodies.

You could always offload a few of those babies to me

I don't carry a body attached unless I am in shooting mode. The rest of the time they stay unattached and packed away neatly. Just the way that suits me best I guess.


Have a nice day y'all

I always have a lens attached to a camera body because I use the equipment often. But when I have bodies in storage, they are capped and the lenses stand alone. Since I shoot often, only the 40D is stored. The others are in bags ready to go. The 5D2 always has the 24-70 and the 7D the 70-200 2.8 IS. I carry the 85 and the 50 and the 100-400 just in case if I am at a pro shoot.

attached

I've always got a lens attached to the body (atleast my primary body), when ever I go out to shoot, I like to keep my setup ready to grab and shoot.

Usualy this includes my 24-70 on the 1Ds3 with the 70-200 tucked in my Domke F4-af for my daily walks.

I only have one body and three lenses and there is always a lens on it. It's ready to shoot and less opportunity for dust, especially outside in dusty conditions like little league baseball fields.

I usually have one body and three lenses in my bag. Generally the 15-85 attached with the lens hood on and the lens cap off, facing down at the top center of my shoulder bag. It takes about 2 seconds to unzip the bag and start shooting. (camera is always left on in sleep mode)
