I had the opposite experience recently, though the science is the same. My wife and I took a quick mini-vacation in New Orleans, and going from the air-conditioned hotel room to the sultry humidity of the French Quarter downtown, my camera's lenses were fogged over thoroughly. I have a couple of large silica gel packs in my bag, but nothing can absorb that much humidity that quickly, so I had to wait for 10-15 minutes for my lenses to come to temperature before I could get any clear shots.
