Re: [Leica] Dry chamber for storing camera gear

["A. Lal" <alal@duke.poly.edu>]

Hello Joseph,

Thanks for the reply; it is good to hear from you again.

The only moderately sized dry boxe  with cooling that I have been able to locate here in the US are intended for lab use, to store
chemicals or biological specimens under controlled temperature and humidity. These are quite expensive.

I will contact you off list  shortly.

Regards,
Akhil
