For us here in Hong Kong with high humidity the plastic dry box with
silica
gel never work, unless you put the lenses inside and never open it. I
have
lots of trouble with the above setup for years until I got an electronic
dry
box, already over twelve years without one lens got fungus. Only spent
US$200 and it save guard my thirty plus Zuikos, no worry about changing
silica gel too.
