Suggest you get one dry cabin if you have several lens and bodies.

You can also get air-tight container and put silicon inside. Though cheap and good, you need to be discipline enough to "fry" the used silicon [ie after absorbing moisture] regularly. Frying is to remove moisture and re-used the silicon. Silicon can be purchased at photo shop... not sure about the price now but rather cheap. I have done that for more than 20 years but switched to dry box 3 years ago since dry cabin is affordable nowadays. Carrefour does sell 3-tier dry cabin at $99 previously. Suggest you look around for what you need.
 

I don't think we should waste our time trying to give him good advise.:dunno:
 

You would need it consider the fact that we are living in a tropical country with high humidity and of coz the life of your lenses and camera.

You would not need it if you want to change your equipment frequently. I mean spoil and buy new ones.

Hope this helps. :)
 

thank for all the help.
if i hav only 1 body and 2 lens???
do i need it??
 

Depending on how much you treasure your lens. Do you mind having fungus in it?
As for me I keep my lens tucked in the dry cabinet. One should even store P&S into
the dry box/cabinet as it's susceptible to fungus as well.
 

why is this same old question appearing 2 or 3 times in the span of a couple of weeks...:confused:
 

Maybe should have one as a sticky? since its an ever green question for anyone who picks up a camera... more so when we pick up a SLR type :sweat:
 

my 300D CMOS attacked by fungus and all pictures has a mark on it ... end up i trade-in and bought a 400D...

dry cabi is a MUST !
 

thank for all the help you give me.
great advice, i will get one soon.
