Kirislin Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Is that what they'd be called? I want to put some of those little satchets that take the moisture away, into my camera bag and where I store my lenses. Anyone know where I'd buy them, alternatively, how do you store your gear to keep the dreaded fungus away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraJane Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I think it's called Silica gel and you can buy it loose or in little satchets. I've bought it online before for work, but don't ask me where !?!? Goodluck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kja Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) You can get some from the chemist usually. Sometimes they have it as a powder type thing and it's cheaper. Just get some old or cheapo nylons and tie yourself up some "baggies" of it. Camera stores may also carry them. One name for them is Moisture Munchers. You can also get them online. Here's a quick link -> Moisture Muncher & crazily overpriced. These guys are overseas but Ryan and the crew rock and they are small enough to be thrown in an envelope so even with shipping you might be better off -> Reef Photo Or head to a shoe store and see if they have any - it's the same stuff in those little packs you get in shoe boxes and handbags Often a shoe store will have a big pile of the dumb things hanging around and are happy to be rid of them. I don't know about the fungus as I don't use anything in my camera bags or in my storage boxes for lenses and don't have that problem. I simply put my lenses and bodies in plastic containers - like tupperware or willow stuff. Seems to work where I've lived at least!

These are often in shoe boxes with new shoes when they arrive in stores, why not ask at your local shoe store if you can have some as they just throw them out or at least they do at my store .

Kirislin Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 It's OK, I've started saving them from my vitamins. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
