What a question!


Although I do not own any individual lens cases for my DSLR, I'll try me best to provide some help.


Here are a few things to think about:
  • Which position facilitates lens mounting to the camera? Is it easier to mount the lens upon removal when it is in a certain position?7
  • What conditions will you be shooting in? Does one storage position help keep dust/moisture out?
  • What are the physical properties of the lens? Is the diameter of the lens at one end greater than the other end? Try to position your lens accordingly for the best fit.
  • In the unforseen circumstances that you do happen to drop your lens, which storage position will provide you with the most protection? I would think that an "hood-up" position might be more practical in this regard.



Sorry, I haven't used these lens cases in practice. Try asking yourself these questions to get a better idea of the ideal storage position for your lenses.
