Are you a victim of lens condensation?

[Al Perry]

I read this on Canon's FB Page anyone tried this?

Prep your lens with these 2 easy steps: 1) Wrap you camera and lens in a plastic bag prior to entering into the changed environment 2) let the camera acclimate to the temperature before opening the bag. The condensation will be on the bag instead of the camera.

I read on Nikon's page that all you need to do is put the camera in a camera case/bag and let it acclimatise..

I have never suffered from the problem; only ever had my viewfinder mist up, but it cleared again :3

Al, I have read the same info as Daniel. The plastic bag, however may be worth a go, as I do not like always hauling the bag while hiking. It would, for me, be an easy fix. Thanks for the tip, I will let you know how/if it works for the D7000.

@hollandcrew Thanks for the tip. :)

I haven't tried that but heard that it would work. A friend of mine cruised the Amazon this January and that is what they were told to do.

Yes, took a trip to Caribbean and the condensation problem was really challenging. I followed advice like you posted and it helped. Just never take that lens off until you know for sure you're in the clear (i.e. no condensation issues around).

Yep! We'd do this with our super 16mm film camera's after coming back in from -40C/-40F film shoots. Worked like a charm! :)

In extreme conditions like these, it's best to leave it in the bag for 1-2 hours before bringing it back out.

@hollandcrew Works just fine for me. I went into the Orchid hot house at Duke Farms in Hillsborough NJ with 30 F degree weather outside. The big plastic bag worked well. 20 minutes was satisfactory.
