I thought I had posted this before but don't think it made it. Inspired by a comment from a board member. Amazon cheap clear plastic containers plus lens cap plus glue. Less than $2 a piece desiccant to be added shortly.

Is it worth using any glue? I understand the gas from the glue doesnt always do any good on lenses

Locktite superglue, I waited till it was fully cured before closing them up.....

So basically you've glued the lens cap to the tap?

Lens mount cap glued to bubble lid.

Yep, that simple....very happy with it, it allows me to stack the collection and find what I want quickly, as well as throw in a couple dessicant packs into each one.... I had a boat load of extra caps accumulated over the years so it worked out well I think, for lens than $2 a bubble.

Just thought I would share something obvious... A comment made by Stevemark made me think about it..... No for some big slime jars for the bigger lenses.

Thanks for sharing a clever idea! Like 1 small

And for what it's worth... Regarding the thread title, for me, including the word "storage" would've been more self explanatory.
When I first read the title, I thought of lenses which have bubbles within their glass elements.
And then I thought maybe this topic would be about lenses which produce bubbly rendering.

Reckon next step is to install a one way valve, seal up the lid, and use a vacuum pump to remove the atmosphere Very Happy

Do you have a link to the plastic containers you are buying?

Nevermind. I think I found it.
