Ok, this may seem a silly question, and I suppose it is a matter of choice. I can put my camera in the case I bought for it with the lens facing down, out (to the right so the lens is against the outside wall of the case, in (to the left toward the other case compartment that holds a lens) or up toward the opening. What is safest? (detail if you need it this is a Canon EOS R50 in a Lowepro “Nova” case)

Another question - When I am to store my camera for a while should I remove the lens and afix covers to the body and the lens or may I just leave it on? Probably 2 weeks to a month between normal uses.

    However it fits best in your bag. I have three bags:

    • a camera backpack from when I thought carrying all my gear in one bag was a good idea. In this case the camera viewfinder is pointing at the bottom of the bag with the lens facing the top of my bag. Due to space I always keep the same lens attached to the camera in this bag - my telephoto. I also shoved a wide to normal zoom in it, a bunch of memory cards, my speedlight and remote triggers
    • a fairly small bag. My camera sits horizontally with its grip facing the top. I can fit the camera and two smaller primes (with one attached) or the camera with a medium sized lens attached
    • a medium sized bag that just fits my camera plus telephoto attached to it

    These days I try to only being my camera and one lens with me, which means my backpack stays home most of the time. My choice of lens for the day dictates which bag I bring. I do not bring any accessories with me anymore.
