ieR, my dry cabinet and wall distance is around 1 feet, it just like u say, air-con started the humility will higher, after awhile, I open the door n close it back the humility will drop.
Now I setting up, air-con n no air-con also in a nice number between 40~45.
Now my air-con started will raise up to 47, without air-con will get 44~45, and sometime air-con on until morning i check out it will be 42... need a long observation for it...

Does anyone heard of Sigma UV filter? I read from few reviews and most of them have no complains on it. But anyone from here try it? Thanks.

erm, there is a lot re-badge filter by branded company. as for sigma i have no comment. if you are looking for a reliable one, Hoya and B+W is still the best pick

Hi sifus here

I am looking for a MicroSD card which is 32GB in size with good speed.

Any suitable target should i look for?Looking for some best for buck card

Vcys86: i think u asked in wrong section.

What happen if your hygrometer (I just purchased Wonderful Dry box) shows 30%? Please advice Thanks in advance.

30% is too dry for rubber, it will eventually destroy the elastic of rubber, not sure ur wonderful drybox has auto re-moist the box, else, open close the box few times to let wet air in.

45% is your targeting RH.

Thank you for share your information. These references is helpful to me.

I still am puzzle on this fungus thingy. when the camera or lens which is display at the shop, it was not vacumm pack or anything like that, why is that the shop display does not infected with fungus or do they put it in dry box after each night !

Am worried too as sometimes not using my camera and lens like 2 weeks or more and before I invest in dry box. Does dry box needs to operates 24/7 or like switch on one day once a week.

good question. unlike those boxing, they are dry in the first place. and during packaging, i believe their factory is very clean. and shop is wipe everyday. no leather or wet cushion or "bed" nearby to store fungus spore...

then why does our lens is prompt to fungus? because we took it outdoor, humid area, dust, zoom in and out, sometimes, got rain on, or during rainy days, room RHumid can reach 90+, and there is a lot fungus spore in the house, especially your room, ur bed has like 98% fungus spore.

Drybox has many type, analog or semi digital or full digital.

analog uses a, well analog reader, and fader switch for u to control how powerful the drying process, which u have to check now and then for the right RelativeHumid %~

semi analog uses a digital reader, more accurate, but still, a fader switch where u need to adjust if its too dry.

full digital, well, automatic stops when desire RH reached. and runs again when its wet(opened). best thing bout full auto digital is, if its TOO DRY, it has ways to make it back to wet again

eg: accidentally hit 40%RH when ur setting is at 45%, it will let its "iced" melt back to wet back the drybox.

thanks bro to advise

Sorry for asking. I'm newbies in photography

Can I know which temp is good for DRY Box to use in a room without aircon and fan.

Thanks in advance

hi, TEMP is variable, it doesnt has direct affect on the RH.

as long as RH is set to 45 (avg) then it is fine.

it can be 50degree while 45RH, its so hot, but it will not create steam (steam is at 90+RH anyway)
it can be 5 degree while with 45RH, it will not create ice or condense because it lack of moisture (for condense to happen, it requires around 70+RH)

thanks bro to advise

I would want to belived that our hands are the culprit to transfer those likely pores to the camera, just like the olden days saying, never touch the rice with your hands else it would not last long.

There are some truth to one investing thousands in lens/camera, why not dry box and this bring me to collect my new dry box tonight.

What i need to know if anyone have try. I got an old set of Canon T70 with lenses that has fungus in it. think these fungus will transfer to my new DSLR if I were to put in the same dry box ? I know it will not further grow fungus but the question is will it transfer fungus inside an operational dry box.

ieR need advice I also new to photography, my friend advice me to keep my lens in just a big vacuum box and place a dehumidifier in the box too to suck up the moist.

Is this recommended?
Would this post damage to lens?

Thank you

i wont really do that, get it clean, cheah from mutiara complex does cleaning service...

hi, welcome to world of photography. actually, that apply if u plan to store your camera for 2-3 months, but since u are new, just bring out to shoot often, at least once a week, let you camera and lens meet the SUN... the sun heat will be enough to stop any spore from growing.

hi , i have a question , say i m going for a trip like 4 day 3 night , or 5 day 4 night ...

i use to bring my equip in a bag , then i wanted to know any of u bring a
dehumidifier with u in the bag , or few days doesnt really matter ? pls advise thank you

it doesnt matter, it takes month for fungus to grow in dark, humid area... if u take the camera out to shoot, it reset the timer again...

for rechargeable dehumidifier, anyone know where can i buy Eva-Dry locally? I saw this product review not bad, or any other recommendation?

thanks.
