I burned a shutter curtain once on a IIf I had. Since then, I've taken to the 
practice of always slipping the lens cap back on when I'm out of doors on a 
sunny day. The problem is most acute with a wide angle lens so leaving the 
lens enough out of focus to keep the sun's image blurry is somewhat hard, 
besides, I like to keep my cameras pre-focused for my average prime subject 
shooting distance when I'm actually out there. It only takes a moment to 
pull off the lens cap and I've been lucky to always remember to do so.
