I have an old Sigma 1:2.8 35-70mm Lens laying about and it is badly affected by fungus, I picked it up at a sale for 10 bucks for the pruposes of disecting. So I pulled it down and to my surprise not only was there fungus on the lense but the whole internal workings were covered in a thin layer of moisture.
This has certainly highlighted the need for moisture protection of lenses, this lense will find its home in a bin, but to protect the rest of the glass I have I am seeking recommendations of lens care technique. For me, I keep all my lenses with front and rear caps to protect the the exterior glass from dust and scratching. I like to keep my lenses in a purpose build cylinder and in each cylinder I like to keep a small sache of moisture absorbent crystals. What else do people do to protect their glass?
