Am I right to infer that you don't need to remove the lens to dry the insides? What are the chances of condensation forming inside a (zoom perhaps) lens? I read something about using an airtight bag to bring the camera in. How airtight need it be? Supermarket bags for example have holes for the kids not to suffocate in a flash. In general, I only take the camera out when we are above zero temperatures. Unlike Shel, I had about 8 non-flash pictures in the last 74 that I took delivery of today :-( Not happy. Kostas
