Erm, I read somewhere about keeping lenses and body separated is better, and then assembling only when needed? I also heard that keeping filter on for long time is not good. Advice please.

Wah, izit?
I leave my lens attached all the time to my body.
This is to reduce dust entering the sensor everytime you attach and dettach lenses.

I wonder how did the owners of a camera shop stores their DSLRs?

I just saw them store behind their storeroom. Dont they scare of fungus?

Yup, better invest in a proper drybox. It will not cost much, for approx RM300 you will worry-free night dreams everyday.

A proper dry box only costs around RM220. It is a good investment.
If really no budget, then DIY your own dry box la.
In this way, you will be worry-free of fungus.

About the cleaning, is that possible that I just get a lenspen? Will it do the same job as getting a microfiber cloth? I'm going to get a UV filter as protection anyway.

Ya, lenspen would be good. Me is gonna get one too soon.

But just make sure the lenspen is original.

There are too many fake lenspen in the market nowadays just like fake filters.
So, make sure u buy from a reputable shops or authorised distributors.

highly recommended are Hoya HD, B+W and Zeiss filter. they are high scratch resistant.

Yup, I would advise ppl to buy high quality filters as well.

I know it is expensive around RM150 to RM250 but it is worth it and do not degrade picture quality as the china made or cheapo ones.
