lense storage

How do you store your lenses when not in use?
I am confused because the 55-300 came with a soft lens case, but the more expensive 17-70 didn’t.
What is the consensus, if the lenses are stored in an old but clean shoulder bag is this considered adequate in the view of the majority on this site.

Store your lens with both caps firmly in place and and a dry environment. So as long as your shoulder bag doesn't double as a gym bag you should be ok.
Chuck plenty of the silica gel dessicant sachets in the bag to keep it dry, so you avoid fungus.

I have the kit I use in a Billingham bag and the rarely used lenses are out in the open air on a shelf in a dry environment (thanks to central heating!). The worst place is tucked away in drawers and cupboards.

Just wondered if it would be better to stand on the filter ring with cap removed on a glass shelf, this would remove the possibility of fungus developing in dark conditions.

I don't think we need to go that far.

That is a shame I thought I detected a new product range starting.

My adjustment.
