Yes. My new 17-40 which now is my walkabout lens, as I always favoured the 35mm manual on my 35mm Nikon this lens is ideal. The camera lives on it's back too. I once read than lenses are best stored upright, can't quite remember why but it's what I do.
Usually the 18-70 is on it but sometimes I change depending on the future. For the next little while I'll have my Sigma 10-20 as I'll be on a train, a bus, a plane, and then indoors with lots of family. A nice wide angle to capture it all
looks like I'm the only one who doesn't leave a lens on the body
I've got some foam padded storage for all my kit when its in the house so the lens comes off then, and if I'm taking the 170-500 with me then its a bit of an awkward fit with the body attached in the bag, so carry body detached. however if I'm off out for a drive the bag is usually open on the passanger seat with the 70-300mm IS attached "just in case" something should catch my eye.
I usually have my Tokina 11-16 on as I use it the most and it stays on from whatever I was doing last. If I am using the camera round the house then the 17-40 is usually on there.
Yes, always keep a lens on my camera, ready to go! Have done for years. Last year my kit lens focus ring broke and cost my £50 for a repair at Nikon. Was it because I kept it on the camera and put it loose into a backpack with my lunchbox, probably, but it hasn't stopped my doing it since - although now I wrap it in a towel first!
