Re: Time for Moisture Dissipation BIG WHITES

I often have to deal with this myself and recently made a post with concerns about fog getting inside a lens. (Which, it turns out, does happen and doesn't mean there's an issue with the lens.) I've found that if I can give my equipment 20-30 minutes exposed to the heat and humidity before use once I leave the air conditioning then there usually isn't an issue. Longer if I acclimate the equipment in a closed backpack. Much longer if it's in a closed pelican case.

One tip someone mentioned in my thread that sounded good is bringing a heating blanket and keeping that over the case while it's in the air conditioning. This way it never gets cold. Would keep the blanket on low heat, of course.
