QUOTE(skycrawler @ Feb 7 2011, 01:04 AM) hehe.. thanks!QUOTE how to check whether the lens is oily or not ? my friends touched the lens's glass. i just use those clothes that i used to clean my glasses to clean it. and i keep my new dslr in a safe with hippo. is it ok to do so? the safe is in air-con room. check lens by visual. use a torch light to shine on the lens or face against the light... is like spectacles glasses loh.. I use microfiber cloth.. or my spectacles cloth.. just careful no particles on the cloth after get scratches i'm presuming your safe is air-tight? if yes.. then better open up everyday to let some air circulate.. note if it's too dry you will damage your rubbers (grip, lens dials).. best to get a hygrometer... or even better.. follow my DIY Drybox This post has been edited by sur3wyn: Feb 8 2011, 12:08 PM |

QUOTE(xbbshampoo @ Feb 8 2011, 12:24 PM) your rear should not need any cleaning if you keep it mounted to your camera most of the time... so it's only likely that your front is oily or dirty...it's best if you have no idea what you're doing.. go to a camera shop and ask them for help... |

QUOTE(kakicam @ Feb 9 2011, 07:18 AM) what you mean by waterproof? the box i use does seem air-tight, but im not sure... unless i close it up and dump it in water.. but it isn't necessary required to be waterproof or air-tight for it's main function [keeping things dry inside] Added on February 10, 2011, 2:34 pm QUOTE(ChickenWing24 @ Feb 10 2011, 01:27 PM) Hey guys, from what i've read it's ok to keep in your bag or cupboard or where-ever.. just not over long periods of time.. if you take out your DSLR often enough it will be ok..I am new to this photography(DSLR) so wanna ask ur advice a bit.... I'm currently staying in a university hostel and will go back almost every week.... Due to my frequent travelling back and forth, I don't think its practical to buy a dry box for 2 reasons... 1) Keeping it in home is useless coz majority of time my camera will be in hostel 2) Keeping it in hostel is impossible due to the fact that my room is already cramped So, I would like to know what other options are available in terms of storing my DSLR.... Currently I just keep them in my Crumpler bag inside my cupboard. Planning to buy some silica gel to put inside the bag. Thanks..... but you can always do a DIY dry box like mine and take it around with you.. compact and portable link >> http://bit.ly/g5C4vA This post has been edited by sur3wyn: Feb 10 2011, 02:34 PM |
