Another great video. Years ago I was on a film shoot in Los Angeles where they were using a lot of fog machines. I asked the camera operator how they keep the moisture out of the lenses. He showed me… he had several five gallon paint buckets filled with silica gel around the cameras and lenses.
Thank you, Carmine! I have two beautiful old lenses that, though do not appear to have become “infected” with fungus, do appear to have something going on…possibly with the adhesive that hold the various elements together. Would you please consider a follow-up video in which you review the other problems that can occur with lenses, perhaps especially older ones, including how to recognize, identify and, wherever possible, treat or neutralize these “occupying glass invaders”? Thank you for YOU, your channel, and for sharing so genuinely of your half-century of wisdom. It may sometimes feel like UA-cam is an empty echo chamber, but believe me, many thousands of your fellow lensmen are listening! Best, Bill Fellow New Yorker (Queens)
Hello and thanks for watching my channel. I think your lens may have Balsam Separation. Here is a video you may enjoy. ua-cam.com/video/fxOYMPMyLW0/v-deo.html
Thank you, a very informative, and enlightening video on lens care. Thumbs up; and I subscribed. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I'd go to a camera repair shop to fix, and completely clean up such fungus on a lens, anyway. I believe that any optics have got to be as clean as possible; maybe not absolutely perfect, but very clean, anyhow.📷
Nothing like a good sun tan for the lens to make it clean. I have not seen fungus on my lenses but do try to keep them stored in a dark area. Have you used an UV lights? or just Sunlight?

Silica gel is a wonderful product to protect gear from moisture
Thanks Good tip I try to do what you said about storage but you never know what could happen with your lenses & I live in Florida.
