[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 150908, member: 13556"] Twice. The first time was last October. After shooting a high school football game, I returned home with my 18-200 in a lens pouch. With my hands full of other stuff, I picked the lens pouch up, but not by the cinch-ropes. I took several steps before I felt it start to slip, but really couldn't do anything else due to having too much else in my hands. It fell and landed on the lens cap, breaking the cap, shattering the UV filter and bending the filter ring inside the filter threads on the lens. Sick wasn't the word for how I felt at the time. Less than two weeks later, I was distracted while changing lenses and after placing the first lens on a table, I reached for the second and knocked the first lens off of the table. This time it was a cheaper lens, but it still made me angry at myself. Now my rule is that when transporting camera and lens is they are in my camera bag and I'm not encumbered by other items. When I change lenses, that is all that I am doing at the time. [/QUOTE]
