Ways to store enlarging lenses ?

[jk0592]

I have used different cameras over the years. This has resulted in a growing collection
of enlarging lenses, such as 50mm, 80mm, 105mm and 150mm.
Most of these are just sitting in plastic bags, and stored on the dry side of the darkroom. But the dry side is not so dry,
humidity has a way of invading any volume of air in the darkroom.
So, are there any better ways or places to keep the lenses in good shape for a long time ?

Why not get Rodenstock or Schneider enlarging lens cases?

All my lenses are in a 25 CF safe in a climate controlled room. All are on lenseboards on shelves. L

I don't keep my collection of enlarging lenses in a dark room.
I don't store any of my lenses where there is moisture.

My lenses stay in the drawer of a desk in the darkroom. Some have been there since the 1970's and show no signs of deterioration of any kind including fungus and rust. The darkroom is part of the overall house temperature control system.

Thank you, I was unaware that these could be purchased separately. I will enquire.

Do you forget your dog in the supermarket parking lot? Don't do it with your lens neither: carry it back to the 35% humid env. box and both of you will be friends, able to work together until the curtain falls down,

What if the lens is a dog?

I of course use the enlarger lenses in my darkroom, which is off the garage. I store them in the house in a cabinet.

Food containers can provide protection against a humid environment if the lenses are dry when sealed in the containers.
