Re: Condensation inside lens

Hello Tom,

I dedicated *a whole paragraph* to moisture INSIDE a lens in my posting. And the danger of getting fungus inside the lens.

At my experience it nearly about NULL to get fogging *inside* a lens - except there is really a lot of moisture inside. Moisture is very rare within lenses - unless it has been caused by very inept use beforehand...

In order to get the moisture out of a lens, You may use silica gel-desiccant from all the Covid-19 tests, because there is always a little bag in it! One has to put the lens into a really tight box or a small plastic bag together with the silica gel.
