And it will come to a point in which it is fully loaded with water and will not absorb any more. So, even with the kinds that change color when loaded, it´s not a matter of use and forget. A drybox will need less maintenance.

Several list members have made this >suggestion on and off list, but I'd prefer not to just heat up the >camera gear any further. I've been thinking for a while of making my own dry box using a peltier chip. When running normally, the peltier chip would cool below the dew point and condense moisture on it. That would drip from the bottom of the chip/heat exchanger into a drip pan that would lead outside the box. Every x hours, I'd run the chip in reverse to make sure that it was freezing the condensate. It *should* work, although how well is unknown. - --- Then again, at an auction today I just bought two (2!) Zero Haliburton cases at $25 each. They're sealed, so with a little dessicant in them, they should be perfect for storage of my preciousess. :-) Karen - -- Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/ - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
