A system I'm going to follow, to a greater degree, in the future. I usually replace the front cap if moving on to the next possible shoot, especially if traveling a dirt or gravel road. At the end of the day, I've spent many a frustration 20 or 30 minutes searching every inch of my rig for that one cap I "I must have dropped somewhere'. I didn't, I find many between the seat cushions or under 120 lbs of stuff in the rear cargo area. I, also, spend some time changing from whatever filter back to a UV. (I think I want the UV when in higher elevations). Seems I've used every lens during the day. I did buy a couple folding filter pouches and find them much handier than the frustration of looking for the correct size filter case. Ever leave a lens perched on a rock or log and walk off without it? That can quickly get you out of the motel and back in the field..before dark. My evening motel relaxing/sipping time will start even sooner in the future.
