This last week, I had the good fortunate to be on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. Unfortunately, my Canon XSi, 17-55, 50 1.8, and 28-135 aren't weather-sealed (would that make a difference for this?).


Every time I went from inside (about 68 degrees, 50% humidity) to outside (90-100 degrees, 90-100% humidity), the camera and lenses fogged up due to condensation. I tried wiping fronts and backs of lenses, the mirror in the camera, etc., to remove the moisture, but no luck. It seems that the different elements in each lens were all hosed.


Suggestions on best methods to eliminate the condensation? Slowly bring up to new temperature by keeping in bag/wrapped in towel/cloth?


This was probably the most frustrating aspect of the trip, as I missed lots of great shots dealing with this issue. I even woke up super-early to see us pull into Jacksonville, FL, the final morning, but the camera and lenses didn't cooperate. :-(


Thanks for any advice or field experience tips!
