I often shove my lens cap down my bra whilst I'm shooting (which occasionally leads to an odd look when I forget myself and delve back down in there to retrieve it) but I don't seem to get too much dust in mine!!!!!
Oops, didn't notice Laurie's reply above - way to go girl, glad I'm not the only one!
I did try and concentrate a bit more, on my recent trip to India, not to retrieve the thing (or put it in there in the first place) when any locals who might have been shocked were watching!
I can't imagine putting a naked lens cap in my pocket, sheesh. I learned not to do that eons ago, back in the Pleistocene or something. Call me anal, but I carry around small ziplok baggies for this job :-)

We're sorry to be so stupid, Mr. Music.
Sheesh.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way, really! Looking back, I can see that sounds pretty snide... Hell, it took me a BUNCH of filthy lens caps before I learned my lesson. I was actually trying to poke fun at how long 've been doing this, but the emphasis didn't come out right :-(

Thanks, Bear. I'll prolly always think of this thread everytime I pocket a cap, because I just haven't figured out a system that works for me yet.
It's a good point, though, about things "we" do subconsciously that "hurt" our photos.
I hope the women using the bra technique aren't wearing tight tops or sweaters while doing so, somebody might think you have elephantitus of the arreola, or something. :-)
I should tuck mine in my bra... with the way they make all these nifty "shaped" bras these days, I have enough room in there for lens caps, car keys, possibly a can of coke or two...
As it is, I usually stick it in the waistband of my shorts.
