Generally, I keep the hood on the lens for added protection of the front element(s). I am not a pro shooter, so my need to make rapid lens changes is not as critical as those that make your livings shooting. When hanging on my side from BR strap, it can move around and always better safe than...

Has anyone received theirs yet? I will be ordering this weekend.
