Hello! I am trying to decide the best way to store my lenses and camera when I am not using them. Ideally, they would have a "home", and I would choose the lens(es) I need for the day when I am out shooting so I can limit the weight I am lugging around by carrying lenses I know I won't need (which is what I am doing now, or leaving them on a random table until I get home and put them back in the camera backpack).

I recently bought a dehumidifier cabinet, which seemed amazing in theory, but the temperature inside of it is about 76 degrees, and for some reason, even though the humidity is 35%, the temperature being that high makes me nervous (maybe it shouldn't, I don't know).

I used to keep lenses in a separate camera bag, in a dark closet, and never had issues with them getting mold or dust, etc, but the lenses I have acquired over the years mean quite a lot to me and I don't know if that same storage technique (closet in bag) is actually a good idea?

So my question, where do you store your lenses and camera when you aren't using them? I use my camera almost every day, but I shoot macro, wildlife and even try astronomy, so I have lenses I definitely don't use every day that I would like to keep as safe as possible when they are sitting on the bench 😉 What do you do that works?

Thank you!
