Larry, if you don’t have silica gel readily available, you might try using rice 
or popcorn as a moisture absorber.

tamron 28-75, foggy on the inside

[Larry Colen]

This afternoon I wanted to take some pictures of the river in my 
backyard.  It was raining, but not super hard, so rather than changing 
lenses, I just used the 28-75 on the K-3.


This evening I was photographing belt tests at the dojo, and it was 
getting tough to see through the camera.  I had condensation on one of 
the elements on the inside of the lens.  I could put the lens in front 
of my heater, but I'm worried about it getting too hot and causing damage.


Does anyone have any constructive solutions for solving this problem?

I took some photos of the lens tonight:

Plus; use a plastic bag as the container and twist the zoom every hour or so to
pull/push as much air through it as possible.  You may still end up with
watermarks, though.

Put it in a closed plastic container with as much silica gel bags you
can find. Remove the K mount lens cap.

Maybe buy some silica gel packs & put them in a sealed container with
the lens for a couple of weeks.
