Hi,
I started using a Sun Dry recently.
However I'm not sure what is the correct way to store my lenses.
Is it better to store it standing up (Front Element facing downwards - with lense cap of course)
Or is it better to lie it on its sides?

I had been storing the lenses standing up until i got the cabinet, which comes with a foam/sponge piece of something... which looks like its meant to support lenses on its side - hence the question now.

I always assumed its better to stand it up...
Will keeping the lens on its side too long without rotating it cause the lens elements inside the lens to shift from its axis (downwards)?
