Architect1776 Loc: In my mind
 
I understand that we all have various amounts and types of photographic equipment.
Where do you keep the equipment? Some have 1 camera and others have a collection of every camera body from each brand and associated lenses.
So from a small bag in the corner to a dedicated vault with alarms.
I keep my current camera in a backpack along with a couple of lenses, a flash and a few accessories including cleaning materials. Tripod in the back of the Jeep. The rest is in 2 drawers in a small dresser. The " rest" are older cameras I have for collection, not all are functioning but fun to look at. Then a couple of very old ones on display on a bookshelf as conversation starters.

Portions are in two camera bags (side bag and backpack) in my clothes closet, less frequently used stuff is in a nightstand drawer.
(I don't have a ton-o-stuff.)

Not quite up to date. There are a couple of more shelves with accessories and junk above what's visible.

I have two active full frame cameras and two (soon three) active DX cameras. The cameras, one each with a general purpose zoom and a trinity zoom, sit on a shelf ready to grab and go. The other FX lenses are in a rolling 40 liter camera case, and the other DX lenses (including a couple of full frame lenses assigned to DX service) are in a 20 liter Mind Shift backpack. Flash equipment, Pentax Spotmeter, and incident meter are in a separate "flight case." My tripod is in an umbrella stand by the door to the garage. There's a space for each of the cameras (well, maybe each but the one being added) in the respective case or pack.

That's a good idea and can be secured.

Light stands, old tripods and portable hard drives are in a shed on the back acre so that they are away from the house in the event of a fire. A separate tripod and monopod are always in the back of my SUV. There is a backpack with my primary spare body, two lenses and a remote control set against the back of the bedroom door. My primary camera is under the end table by my chair in the living room.

Then there is a case in the family room that has spare lenses, batteries, flash, a second set of remote controls, filters, etc. Also in the family room are the remainder of the camera bodies that I still use, plus a camera backpack, two more regular backpacks, rain gear for the cameras, and cleaning rags, etc...

Finally there is a laptop computer with a portable hard drive that new photos are downloaded to and a desktop computer connected to a NAS. All photos are downloaded to the portable hard drive. When it is about 2/3 full they are copied to the NAS, the portable hard drive is taken out to the shed and a new portable hard drive is connected to the laptop.

Also have a tub full of flashlights, headlamps, led lights, in it for caves or nighttime work as well as a tablet and drone for aerial photography. I don't have a collection of old camera bodies, but do have several backups in case I have a work camera in the shop when I need to be on assignment or have a job that needs three or four bodies to shoot.

In other words I have photo stuff all over the house, car and shed.

You have a couple nice lenses there that I wouldn't mind having access to. Especially like the bottom shelf.

Essentially, three complete camera/lens 'systems' sit on a bench immediately inside my front door. They're placed where they are so that I can grab whichever 'system' I might choose when I leave. Those apparently separate 'systems' include, however, several sub-groups which can, with adapters when applicable, be cross-mated should I choose to mix or match (so to speak) an FX, or a DX (Nikon, obviously, or I'd have used nomenclature other than FX or DX), or a mirrorless Fuji X system relatedly, especially if I have some particular need or want or plan in mind before-the-fact, whether that intent trend toward a long lens, a short lens, or something in between. More often than not, however, I simply snag the bag that holds whatever will be a better choice considering the conditions that exist (within, say, a 30 minute or maybe an 8 hour radius) in my immediate world.

Got other options --quite literally dozens of them-- , too, but those --be they large format, larger format, medium format, 35mm or even sub-35mm 'spy camera' formats-- sit on shelves or reside under my bed because though I suppose I could, I don't shoot film any more.

<edit:> Oh, dammit! I forgot to mention my 3rd 'system'. Which is a couple of DJI drones.

I have a Nikon D500, a D750, a Tamron 150-600, Nikon 70-200, 24-120, 14-24, 18-300, a Tokina 100mm macro, and an Irix 11mm that "live" in a pelican case that goes with me almost everywhere. I also have several older "D" prime lenses and and accessories that stay in my closet for special situations, and a tripod and monopod that pretty much live in the car. I also have a Pentax WGII that stays in my lunch box (I use it primarily as a memory aid at work)

I have a large backpack where camera, lenses and accessories are stored. It’s too heavy to carry around with all my equipment, so I have a smaller backpack which I load with the lenses and accessories for that particular day or trip.

Now days I find a cellphone does what I need as a memory aid and even better as a flashlight rather than remember an carry a separate flashlight.
That way if needed can immediately share and discuss.
Great collection of lenses.
Thx. for sharing.

I keep my camera with two lenses, batteries, CFE/SD cards, polarizers for lenses, pocket rocket, 'pen cleaner', Zeiss pads-in my Peak Design 10L sling by the front door; and other lenses and flash in a cabinet also by the front door. Easy to change equipment as needed.
