I never put any lens in any bag without the caps front and rear. Then again I'm a belt and suspenders type person when it comes to my gear. Don
I fit all my lenses with non-retractable, metal lens hoods. This protects the front element from scratches if I drop the lens into a nicely fitted pouch or padded pocket in my camera bags, unless the hood is very short (e.g.: wide angle lenses). In that case, I use a hood cap.is it ok to leave my lenses in my art & artisan bags without out caps to protect front element?
not sure if rubbing on the red foam or even my fogg bagg fabric will scratch the front element or even rear element.
thanks
