Great tips for me because I’ve just received my new lenses. Thank you!
OO you are welcome mate.
Thank you so much for the tips...you have just saved my lenses
Thanks for posting, Lot of GREAT tips here!
Fantastic video thanks!
Excellent topic. Superb presentation. I learnt about Silica Gel from my dad. He even stored leather cases in an air-tight plastic bag with silica gel in porous cloth or paper mini-bags.
ds.techie it is always a good idea to protect your gear. It pays itself on long run.
Thank you!
Thanks for your reply.
Hello atila 🙏 with every video you are going to focus on every essential part of photography.. generally every enthusiast want to buy camera gadget's like Lenses or some other gadget's but very few know about safety matters about their gadget's .. thanx man for presenting such a wonderful video👍
kiran yannawar thanks man. I really appreciate your support.
Hi! Thanks for the video, I also live in Ireland, where do you recommend to get lenses cleaned/fungus removed? I have an issue with a fujinon lens that I didn't notice until I went to sell it
What if I already live in a pretty dry area of the world? I just leave the lens on the camera because my camera doesn’t have a sensor cap thing to not keep it exposed same with my lens on the back element but I do have a normal lens cap on the front element. It’s also a manual lens with a slr. Is that ok?
Thanks it's very important issue.
Tutaj Teraz you are welcome mate.
I did not put much attention how I stored lenses.Thanks for the tips.
Ariam Aseerwatham you are welcome mate.
Very good tips thx.
George Yang you are welcome mate.
Thank you for this video
It is really very important thing
I have almost 10 lenses and would be very sad to lose some of them
Thank you
You are welcome.
Hi mate. Im keep my camera in drybox and put in cupboard which is no exposed to light. Is it good ? Humidity is 60
I'm fortunate that I have access to silica gel bags at my place of work which I use for many applications. My lenses are stored in flight cases and high impact pelican type cases, each has a couple of small bags of silica gel under the pluck foam. My other use...stick one in each shoe/sneaker after wearing them to absorb sweat lol It rains quite a lot here in the UK too but I wouldn't describe our weather as humid. I've not had any issues regards fungus or haze and I have some pretty old lenses in my collection. Co incidentally one of my silica gel bags burst in my small camera bag today. The camera and lenses are fine however, those tiny gel balls get everywhere though! 😊
dunnymonster yeah once it happened with me as well that I didn't close tight enough the lead and the little Silica gel balls got in every part of my bag. Pretty annoying 😂😂😂
thanks for the tips!
You are welcome mate.
keep up the good work Attila
ALEXANDER GOMES thanks mate.
I store in airtight transparent boxes with cat litter in original bag open and in socks (but this produce dust so maybe it's not a good idea.
The infected lenses ,I keep separate with cat litter in socks and a jam glass pot with copper sulfate open.
Many thanks for this Atilla, I am used to storing my lenses in a bucket in the back garden and I always had a problem with fungus, rust and bird crap. Now I know better! I will cover them in silicone.
PS You will never get a job for the Irish Tourist Office.
Saurat 😂😂😂absolutely correct. I don't intend to get that job anyway. 😂😂😂
I use air tight transparent box and Pelican case with about 150-175 gram orange silica bags.In the box lenses are not covered with the lens cap.Also using from time to time UV-C lamp for 10 minutes to kill anything organic in and on the glass.
eagleeye photo that's actually a good idea. UV-C lamp. I have to check it out. Thanks mate.
Is it okay to keep lens in direct sunlight?
I’m in midwest US without ac. I worry about my full load of Zeiss lenses and have been considering a dehydrating cabinet.
Captain Zouave that's a good idea as well but it is more expensive than this one. My friend had the same and he stopped using it and now he just uses Silica gel. But definitely using a dehidrating cabinet is very effective.
Blue Sky Photography Why did he stop using it? I use silica packs for my firearms stored in zipped Mylar bags. A photo friend uses silica cans (sold for gun safes) in a 2-door cabinet of lenses, but I think I’d rather set it and forget it.
Ever get that Zeiss 25?
Captain Zouave he stopped using it because the electricity cost. It uses a lot of electricity. Silica gel is cheaper at long run and it's effective enough.
I didn't get the 25mm Zeiss yet because I'm hesitating between the FujiFilm 16mm f1.4 which is an excellent lens, and the Zeiss 25mm f2. I don't have money to buy both so I have to decide which camera am I using most.
Blue Sky Photography yeah, the electric cost is what scares me also, and there isn’t an outlet where I’d want to put the box. I never thought it would be so costly as to stop using it. Damn. (Thanks for answering!)
I’ve got both lenses. The Fuji 16 focuses closer and tons of fun on the small body, but unscientifically, the Zeiss is a better lens (maybe only because of the larger 5d4 sensor). You can’t go wrong with either, and you’re right- it depends which body you use more. I bet you wish we were neighbors so you’d have access to my kit,😀
Captain Zouave ohhh boy. If you would live in Ireland, I would travel to you just to get the possibility of trying both lenses 😂😂😂. Well I will have to decide at the end of the day.
Is it true that the Fuji 16mm is sharper???
What I’d like to know is this, can an fungus lens in fact my new camera ? Thanks.
Sorry I can't really understand the question.
Thanks for your reply.
My question is this. I have a lens with fungus in it. I also have a new camera without fungus. If I put my lens with the fungus on to the camera body......can the camera get infected with fungus as well ? Or can the. Camera get fungus from the lens while in the box I keep them in.
Thanks.
@@africo9104 theoretically it can. But I am not really sure in reality. I never used any lens with fungus. I gave it to the service center to clean it out.
Ok, you say none of your lenses have fungus or if, they are sent to a service centre. But if you look at lens fungus on CZcams, many of the experts say that sometimes even the service centres leave a fungus spore behind that can slowly grow again. So my idea for asking is that maybe I should leave that particular lens in another place so it doesn’t contaminate the other lenses or camera body.
Mabey some of your viewers can reply to this question.
A mushroom goes into a pub and the bartender yells, "get out" we dont serve mushrooms in here, the mushroom responds "cmon im a fungai" LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Longrider 😂😂😂 that's good mate. 😂😂😂
