Fungus needs moisture AFAIR. So, keep you stuff reasonably dry. Cameras etc. that have been stored or used under humid conditions should be taken out of bags etc. to dry. I try to store cameras, lenses etc. on shelves in a cupboard. Before I go out to photograph, I fill a bag with what I expect to be using. That goes for cameras, lenses and flashes. I leave small accessories in the bag. I try not to leave the stuff in a bag too long. I have one for use when I drive (Lowepro Reporter) and one for walking/hiking (Lowepro Mini trecker) - the reporter bag would ruin my back if I walk for a long time.
I only use an eveready bag for short journeys when I want to travel light and not take a lot of pictures. This will protect the camera from being bumped around inside my suitcase or bag. I harly ever carry a camera with me while doing other things - perhaps my Minox. I'd love to buy the new Contax i4R for my jacket pocket. It's 4MP and even smaller than a cell phone: http://www.contaxcameras.co.uk/digital/i4R/i4roverview_front_black.asp Jens Bladt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Mark Erickson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 5. februar 2005 18:37 Til: Pentax-Discuss Emne: (n)ever-ready cases--pro and con? Anyone know anything regarding the pluses and minuses of storing and using cameras in ever-ready cases? Seems like it would help keep paint chips and scuffing away, but I've also read that leather cases may attract camera fungus. Thoughts? --Mark
