I have the DA14, FA31, DA35, FA50, FA77, and FA100; along with the DA 55-300 and a long mirror lens they all live in the camera bag and come with me when I go anywhere. So far, I've dropped the 31 and the 100 (falling off a curb in Edinburgh, and fumbling a lens change on a bridge in the Metro Zoo, respectively; neither, thankfully, came to any harm). My take on it is if that if I'm changing a lens that is the *only* thing I'm doing; no walking, no thinking about the next shot, just changing the lens. And that means that the lens on the camera comes off and goes in the bag before the lens I'm changing to comes out of the bag. Both of the drops involved breaking that "only thing" rule, and I hope constitute sufficient learning experience. That said, I don't worry about them coming to harm in normal use. > Anybody else suffer from this affliction? Is there any known cure?
