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) |

QUOTE(wke002 @ Sep 19 2011, 02:32 PM) 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. i wont really do that, get it clean, cheah from mutiara complex does cleaning service... 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.   QUOTE(cireharkonen @ Sep 19 2011, 08:50 PM) 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. 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.Is this recommended? Would this post damage to lens? 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...

QUOTE(saabmorales @ Nov 30 2011, 09:30 AM) just a question guys, are weather sealed lenses and bodies also prone to fungus? weather sealing has nothing to do with "fungus prevention"I know it's about the humidity but does the weather sealing even at least resist the fungus growth a bit? in fact, weather sealing is double edged sword. say it protect and prevent moisture going in, but it also prevent it from going out. if you change your lens, let say genting, moisture gets in somehow during changing.... now back home, u store your camera in a drybox, the weather sealing prevent the moisture inside from getting out... so it get stuck, wet, inside the camera/lens. so u tell me, weather sealing, good or bad deal? |
