If I'm outside shooting it goes in a front pocket, or a jacket pocket if I'm wearing a jacket.
Inside it goes on a table nearby. |

I leave mine on the lens. Better than a filter and I never lose it. ;D

Wow. Remind me not to buy a lens or body from Cristy! jk Although the coal mine sounds like a fun experience. |

I have occasionally worn my photographer's waistcoat which has about 11 squillion - fetches weskit and counts - actually, 9 pockets. It's enough to make a fair comedy show every time I want to put the lens cap back on though (finding it in a trouser pocket, as often as not). |

| a lot of the time i just palm it in my left hand while i shoot, replace it when i'm not shooting. maximizes lens protection, yet it can go on and off very quickly and easily as needed. if it needs to be off for a while, i'll then put it in a plastic sandwich bag (which goes in my pocket, attaches to tripod, or in camera bag depending upon circumstances). |

How about tucking it under your bra or bra strap...you know, next to where you stash your money! ;-) LOL!

I always tuck it in my bra, outside of cap against my skin.
I have never ever lost one from there. |

I hear that some women put their caps in their bra straps. Not that I've ever seen this in action, but I've heard it in these very forums.

| I usually put it in the little net pouch on the side of my bag. If you look here, you can see the pouch on the side of the bag. |

| Left front pocket. Occasionally put it in the bag, then panic when it's not in the pocket. |

I have only lost one...at a restaraunt so I guess I'm lucky. It usually goes in my left back pocket cause my right hand has my camera in it and that rarely gets let go. I thought of putting it back in my bag but for some reason I can't do it. My replacement cap has a strap on it but I don't like it dangling from the lens so I don't use it.
btw...noisemaker...you need a camera bag lol you carry too much stuff for not having one. |

Pocket. Depending on what I'm wearing, either pants, or whenever possible, shirt/coat breast pocket.
I've been thinking about grabbing a vest for when I'm out (I'll end up looking like "that guy", oh well.) - the one that I've had my eye on has like 4000 pockets of varying sizes and shapes and locations. Perfect for filters and caps and pens, and whatever else I need. |

| I hand the cap to one of my assistants. They usually have one hand free, even when it rains. |
