I keep my gear in cut closed cell foam bottomed plastic drawers in those
innexpensive roll around multi-drawer Costco specials. Use cardboard for
dividers between camera bodies and motors and such. The lenses each have
a hole cut in the foam for them. Pretty hard for them to bang together,
though I imagine they would go all over if the drawer/storage units fell
over.
The smaller AF and A* stuff is mostly nestled in Halliburtons.
The larger lenses are in military surpluss shipping containers.
It would take more than an earthquake to render my gear done... (knock
on wood!)
