I have found that the key to not losing stuff (read: my keys, my glasses, my phone, my wallet, etc.) is consistency. Find a place for the thing and ALWAYS, without fail, put it there. For example: When my wallet is out of my pocket or hand, it had better be in the top drawer of the desk near the back door.

So, as for lens caps, I take off the lens cap and immediately place it in my left front pants pocket. Without fail. Every time. I have not lost a lens cap since I discovered this simple solution. As has been mentioned, I do look to see if it's been contaminated, and since I also usually have a micro-cloth in another standard location, will often swipe it clean before putting it back on.

woof!

Hey Woof...now that we know where you keep your cash handy...mind telling us your address? Wouldn't mind if you left the back door open too - saves the hassle
