    In the field, sports bras are wonderful places to stash lenses as you change them. They also hold a lot of other gear as you are transferring stuff around.

    Also keeps batteries and memory cards warm in the winter during events.

    I used to do the M Hass method but my lady friend kept complaining that perhaps I needed a card an battery much too often

    Sighhhhhh, the good old days.

    Oh, and a PS to some of the original posts: contrary to popular belief, turning a camera face down on any surface is asking for a plethora of dust. Better to either use a safe bag (if you are really-really paranoid) or simply cover with a dust-free cotton cloth. I can change a lens in almost any situation so fast as not to give it much worry thought..then again, I've been doing it a very long time..

    I looked in the store today and couldn't find a sports bra to fit me. The saleslady kept giving me funny looks. Obviously she knew nothing about this method of changing lenses...
