• UPDATE



    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

How long do I need to let my camera and lens sit in a plastic bag when going from an AC environment to a hot and humid environment? I waited about 30 minutes and the lens did not fog up. Could I have removed it from the bag sooner? I am on vacation and I hate that I have to wait for my lens to adjust to the environment temp before shooting pics.
 
I thought climatization takes no less than 20 minutes, and 30 minutes is usually very safe.

Having said that, I am a little reckless with my gear and have never done the plastic bag treatment, so far I have never had an issue.

Though I have never had gear fog up on me.
