I keep my cameras and gear in a camera bag ready to go. Grab and run and have the tripods stored in back of my seat in the truck.
Me too.

I have a dedicated sofa, cameras and lenses at one end, bits and bobs in the middle seat and bags, tripods, monopod, rain jacket and vest at the other end. It works, but visitors have to use cushions on the floor.

I have a small room dedicated for my photography equipment. When we renovated our kitchen I installed some of the old cupboards in this room. I made some shelves out of the old countertop. All my stuff is put away and everything is dry and easy to find. I also have a countertop in there so I can do picture framing.

The stuff is actually in the bedroom closet. Top shelf.

A gun safe looks like a good idea . Will have to check to see if affordable . I use about three -three drawer file cabinets . Works fine but not as safe as a gun safe .
I don't keep my guns in mine but here's a couple of suggestions.
I use a cheapy from Harbor Freight and I've put it in the back corner of a closet and used a couple of lag bolts with large fender washers into studs on each wall.
I've also changed out one of the locks and keep the two different keys in different (hard to find) places.
I also suggest owning a Border Collie ;-)

Halliburton cases for the delicate stuff, Lightware cases for the not so delicate stuff, Panavision cases for the bulky and delicate stuff as well as field power, and a 350 pound extremely hard to move custom safe for the really expensive stuff and prop blank guns. I shoot movies as well as stills.

Excellent idea for the HF cabinet. My Doberman is a great watchdog also!

I have a dedicated floor area for my 2 cameras and a dedi-
cated area on my entertainment center for my lenses. It works for me.

I have my two current cameras, their lenses, flash, manuals, extra batteries, etc. all in their cases and combined in an American Tourister rolling case because I use them daily. I have a spare bedroom closet shelf assigned to all my extra stuff, my old cameras, books, etc.
Now if I could only get all my computer stuff in control so it doesn't take up half of that spare bedroom and three shelves in the garage... :(

I collect old lenses and have seen a lot of wonderful lenses that have been damaged or ruined because of fungus growth. Personally if I had the space I would store my lenses in a plastic container that would allow light in to protect them from fungus growth, I would also consider using UV filters instead of lens caps to allow light into the interior of the lenses. Fungus loves dark damp places, well lit dry places will prevent fungus from establishing a colony, so a big clear plastic tub in a well lit room that is not used is perfect, much better than a camera bag or even a shelf in a dark closet or chest of drawers.

Me too, but the wife keeps throwing things in there. I just found a 50mm f1.8 Nikkor I'd been looking for for months. I'm in the process of pulling everything out and organizing things not on shelves. Hopefully 'll find my C clamp articulated "tripod" in the mess on the floor. It is handy to have it in my backpack.
