The added dust attraction isn't really a rumor, the only questionable part is how much it actually accumulates, and that'd depend on a lot of variables. But, yes, while shutting the camera off makes the most sense, sometimes when in a hurry I'm guilty of forgetting. So far so good. -
Call me lazy but I've had numerous occasions where I realized my camera was still turned on halfway the lens swapping procedure. I totally agree it's best to develop a routine of turning your camera off beforehand, but based on anecdotal experience it really won't hurt your camera or lenses to leave it on. And this was with 'smart' lenses with electronic contacts, so it'll likely be even less of a problem with 'dumb' MF lenses. The IS mechanism even proceeded normally with recognizing the proper focal length of the newly attached lens. All of this anecdotal evidence is disregarding the rumored increased dust accumulation on your sensor. -
Either you're incredibly foolish or lazy risking pricey hardware because you don't want to bother suffering the 2 seconds it takes to turn off then on again or you're impeded because you have hooks for hands. I'll always forgive the second option, but never the first.
