[QUOTE="salty joe, post: 142840, member: 13883"] I was pretty surprised to learn that fungus inside a lens can be an issue. I came up with a low budget lens dryer. Might be useful after shooting in fog or misty conditions. Take your hair dryer to Lowes and find a PVC fitting or pipe that fits snugly. Get the fittings necessary to end up with pipe that your lens will fit inside. Install a dust filter before the lens chamber. No need to glue anything. If you're like me, you'll need a timer with 15 minute pins ($8 or so). I'd imagine the heat setting on low with the fan on high would do the trick. What do you guys think? [/QUOTE]
