Thailand's humid air is a serious threat to lenses, as moisture makes fungus growth inside the lens easy. This article covers practical care methods that actually work.
1. Store in a Dry Cabinet
Keep relative humidity around 40–50%. A dry cabinet is the best investment for anyone with multiple lenses.
2. Use Your Lenses Regularly
Lenses that are used and exposed to light frequently are less likely to develop fungus than lenses left sitting in dark, damp storage.
3. Clean Properly
Use microfiber cloth and lens-specific solution. Wipe gently in circular motions from the center outward. Avoid touching the lens elements with bare hands.
4. Avoid Sudden Temperature Changes
Taking a camera directly from an air-conditioned room into hot, humid air causes haze. Let the camera adjust temperature inside your bag first.
