I'm late to reply but hey I've just woken up. I work pretty much the same as you in the field, I don't generally replace front caps, in fact I remove them and fit the hoods before I go out. All I have to do when changing lenses is swap rear caps and when I get home if they've accumulated any dust I just give them a quick blast with the compressed air. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
