Does anyone have good way to store the lenses that you take out of the sleds? I have just been keeping them in a big zip-lock bag but that's probably not the best way to do it. I know I'm going to want to use them someday, but not if they are all scratched.

I do the same way you're doing, one optic per bag. I guess they wont be scratched if you just leave them in a drawer till you need them. Although it's very annoying when there's so many of them. :-/

I got some of that foamy sheet for arts and crafts, cut them into strips, then cut slits in those and put lenses with similar focal lengths in the slits on the same strip. Then I put them in a box with all my other optical goodies.
It keeps them nice and safe, and the foam doesn't scratch them.

I had a picture of my whole collection but I can't find it.
