In the past, when I lived in a hot high humidity area, I used to make sure that all lenses were regularly exposed, caps off both ends, to some good old daylight. I never had any problems. I have been told, but have no confirmation, that one can also use a UV tube to achieve this effect. Perhaps someone else on the list has tried this or knows what strength of UV and for what length of time would be required.
