How do you store your lenses?

I use stacking clear plastic boxes from IKEA, with lids, to store lenses when they are not in camera bags or on the cameras...

anything involving leather is a guaranteed fungus on the glass, some woods are exactly the same. The most used lenses stand on a shelf, next to silica bags, others are in a water sealed plastic box with 2 silica bags inside. Humidity here is a constant 81-88% daily, despite the scorching heat.

Terribly.

I just shove them in my camera bag, I'm surprised they still work.

Living in a area that goes through the 4 Seasons, the Winter is the most concerned for me....

When I go out, I open coat a bit, and hold the camera under the coat.... it will keep it warm, but, also it won't be prone to condensation when I get back back home...

At home, I keep them is a solid Oak Armoir in my Bedroom. during the other 3 Seasons I can keep them in a Waist Pack, or if I am wearing a hoody, in the large side pockets... one lens per pocket!

I keep them on a book shelf. But I only have 2 that aren't in frequent use or aren't mounted on a camera.

Salt water in the area has led to some issues for myself, a lot of the buttons on the E-P1 are becoming more unresponsive.
