All my lens is placed front cap up. However, I've seen some of the camera shops putting lens front cap down instead.
I don't put them on their sides because they takes up more space in that way. tongue.gif

I just campak the lenses in random directions and place them in random locations.

If after paying so much for the damned things and they can't stand me putting them upwards, downwards or in whatever position i like, it must be a shitty lense.

You're one of the most carefree photographer I ever knew. Hehe.. The "campak-ing" and the spitting on mirror. You're the one who made me relieved since you showed that our cameras can take our abuses. tongue.gif

Do you have dry cabinet to store them?

Well, I guess for hobbyist, you need dry cabinet and properly store the lenses as you don't use it everyday everytime.

For me, I can't store them upright as the cabinet is too small and all my lenses are giants except my fisheye.

I don't have a dry cabinet. I shoot almost everyday everywhere. Especially these few days, the places that I've been shooting is extremely hot and sunny. I doubt I can live under such condition, and so I guess those fungus can't too. So far none of my lens have fungus yet. laugh.gif

Do we have to detach the lens from the camera when we are not using it?

Up to your preference.

The answer is obvious, sleeping horinzontal is the best if it is possible.  cool2.gif

It is one of the way to 'minimise' fungus staying on the glasses elements.  cool2.gif

Really? I'm going to put all horizontal if this is true.biggrin.gif
