Can we keep the UV filter and CPL filter in dry cabinet?
What is the best RH% to set for Aipo dry cabinet, as mentioned from the guide is 42%-43% but in Aipo instruction manual is 30%-40%?  This post has been edited by ojchong: Mar 21 2010, 12:38 AM |

QUOTE(kmarc @ Mar 21 2010, 10:33 AM) I think what you mean is whether it is NECESSARY to keep those filters in the dry cabinet right? oic... thanks for the info Filters are relatively cheap compared to lenses unless you buy very expensive CPLs. As such, in my opinion, it is not necessary to keep them in the dry box. In addition, I don't think it is easy for filters to get fungus as they are just a one piece part. Another example is your typical compact camera. I don't think any typical user would buy a dry box even if the camera cost RM1k ............  For RH% setting, during my research, there were varying recommendations regarding RH% setting for DSLR. As far as I can tell, most experts would recommend an RH value of 40-45%. The reason to recommend 42-43% is because of small inaccuracy in the boxes i.e. you set at 40% and your dry box might be running at 38%!!!!    |
