I can't think of anything that would harm a camera or lens in being too dry, though it might affect the lubricants or something. While there are things that don't want to "dry out", the moisture involved is seldom actually water so it is not likely to be helped by higher humidity. Like you, I would think that 50C storage would add to the problems in addition to giving you the low humidity that they had just finished warning against... in particular, the high temperature will soften the grease and increase the chances of oils migrating into the diaphragm and fogging onto the inner lens elements. I think the risk of your getting too dry is slight, I would keep doing what you're doing. If you were NOT controlling the humidity with dessicants, I would advise against the sealed bag as it tends to protect the fungus from the perils of fresh air circulation. |
