A friend keeps his vast collection of Pentax glass in a glass display cabinet (an expensive dust free one!) when he is not using them.
Otherwise they are on the camera or in the camera bag.
I keep mine in my backpack most of the time, but have cases for some of them, which came with the lenses, and have bought a couple of others, for when I don't want to lug the whole shooting match around. My backpack is now full - to overflowing - so some will get permanently relegated to cases soon.
Lowepro and Tamrac amongst others do lens cases for individual lenses. they can be attached to a backpack of the same make.

It is best NOT to keep lenses in cases, which provide a nice environment for fungus.A friend keeps his vast collection of Pentax glass in a glass display cabinet (an expensive dust free one!) when he is not using them.

I keep mine on an open shelf, facing down, caps on, wide-open.

Wow. There was me, doing exactly that, thinking, I must be apostate, I should find somewhere better.It is best NOT to keep lenses in cases, which provide a nice environment for fungus.

Still, where better than that, to be able to count how many you have. Less the number on loan from family members, of course.
