Wow; I found this article extremely insightful. I love taking photo's dureing a storm. How do you treat condensation on your equipment when you come in after shooting on a very cold day? I limit my shooting on cold days because i am not sure how to protect my camera and lenses.
Thank You,

I have the same question that Gille Leclair asked on 6 Dec.

My trick, for better or worse, is to do it in steps. 1) If you're outside and it's cold, begin by placing your camera/lens in a camera bag (or similar case). 2) After about 15 minutes, I move it inside my vehicle or place the bag in the coldest room in house or building (but not colder than outside, of course). 3) About 20 minutes later, I move the bag into a room that's warmer, but still not warm enough to cause condensation. 4) About 20 minutes after that, I move the bag into the living room or den. After about an additional 10 minutes, I open up the bag and remove the camera. The key is to be patient and do it in gradual steps. Try it and let me know how it goes. Hope this helps. -- Jim Reed
