Hullo all,
reminding everyone to make sure your camera bags and lens cases contain dry silicagel in this severe wet weather we're having in Eastern Aust. Even more important is to place the packets in a hot oven to dry them out, EVERY THREE MONTHS WITHOUT FAIL.
High humidity WILL eventually ruin your lens' and the quote to clean the elements makes it not worth it.
How do I know?.......don't ask!
Cheers,
Al.
