[QUOTE="torgo, post: 3399, member: 909"] [FONT="Georgia"]Your best bet is to follow the same advice for cold-weather shooting when going inside - put the equipment in a sealed plastic bag and let it acclimate for about 20 minutes. It's a pain to have to wait, so some planning helps (not always realistic, though). The main problem with just wiping it off is that since the glass is still cold, it's just going to re-fog. There was some discussion about this on a podcast recently (I want to say it was [URL="http://www.thisweekinphoto.com/"]TWiP[/URL]) and one of the people on there talked about a Nikon cloth that's specifically for defogging. They brought up the point that while that may help, you don't want to go changing lenses until the camera's warmed up, because then you increase the changes of fogging your mirror, sensor, rear element of the lens, etc. It's a pain in the butt with no really good solution, since temperature and humidity swings can get condensation on parts that you can't see.
