Q: Best way to store Mamiya TLR lenses? (lemmy.world)

I have a few Mamiya TLR lenses. Should I store them upright vertical (lenses direction horizontal) or on their side (lenses direction vertical)? I'm thinking that if there is lubricant in the internal mechanisms, there's probably an optimal way to store them. Thanks.

I don't use my TLR lenses as often, so storing is a concern. SLR lenses are more cylindrical, so I'm sure it's much easier to store on end so they don't roll around. TLR lenders are more brick shaped; also, the lens ID info is printed on the top of Mamiya TLR lenses. I'll probably just fit them in the storage bag however they fit best.
