Hey, Toni!
I had meant for some time to post a few photos of my beads, hygrometers, and boxes, because I hate to see a lens die! But I never followed up because I am still working out what works best. I'll show you a photo of the canisters (without the lids - LOL, yes, they do have tops!), My preferred hygrometers, I just got some new plastic boxes and not tried them yet. Your question actually prompted me to recharge (in the oven) my beads. Before recharging the need was on 70% relative humidity. In the photo you see the needle pointing to 23% in the tub I used to transfer them to the kitchen. Where I live now, the only problem seems to come from storing a lens. If I am using a lens a lot there is no problem, which is to say that the humidity is the result of being indoors. Respiration, cooking, and whatnot makes humidity indoors here much higher than outdoors. The worst possible scenario is a car full of people with A/C and Recirculate Air on. The windows will steam up! Check out my beads!
