Local camera shop rep was telling me today that you shouldn't store your photographic camera with the lens fastened for whatsoever long period of fourth dimension equally it was not good for all the connecting parts in the plates on both the lens and photographic camera? I just did a Google search and didn't detect much on this. Anyone hear this before?

Maybe an issue for very long periods of storage such as years, or high humidity.

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

I'd venture to say that the amount of photographers who store their camera with a lens attached is in the high 90%.

He could exist referring to galvanic corrosion ... world wide web.engineersedge.com/galvanic_capatability.htm

It'south non something that I'd be concerned near every bit information technology requires some very specific atmospheric condition over a period of fourth dimension. Plus, since it's a phenomenon that potentially effect everything made with metal parts, designers and manufacturers know about it and take steps to prevent it. Really, I can see information technology being a problem only with components of inferior design and manufacture.

I accept quite a few erstwhile Nikons, mostly picture SLRs, and all are stored with lens attached. I occasionally pull one out to shoot a scroll and have never had whatever issues other than a drained bombardment......

Honestly, I've never heard anything like this before. GUESSING, I would say this would pertain to storing a camera for years, where the springs (if any) would get weak from existence in same position? I don't know, is in that location any fact in what I said? Again I'm but coming up with this myself.

I would worry more about the battery over the lens/body connection. As Bob'due south piffling link probably points out it is a more involved process that the rep makes information technology audio. If you have an electric water heater this can happen to the unions on the water connections, which is why y'all utilize a dielectric wedlock to connect the heater to the waterlines, They simply have a plastic insulator on ane side. And we all know how long most water heaters are hooked upwardly earlier they go replaced, and then this happening to your camera is likely nil.

I guess it would be understandable over a long period of time...

To be honest, information technology how well YOU care for your photographic camera... isn't it?
