I swapped lenses frequently when the camera was switched on, particularly when having ebay adaptors on the camera to let me shoot old lenses I've got hanging around. Never bothered powering down.

Ebay adapters don't have any electronic connection to the lens and thus have no contacts to get shorted out....
