Seriously I didn't use dry box when I first started up, and a few of my lenses can't be used cud to the coating (lens element) being eaten by fungus!!

For serious photographers, one should consider getting a proper dry box. If on a low budget, just get an air tight Tupperware and buy silica gel and put inside. Get a hygrometer from Daiso or 100yen shop if you ever go to Japan. When the gel changes color, just buy new ones or sun them under hot sun.

And if your budget allows, get the digital ones, like EJB suggested the DHC series. Anyway AD series will do.

For price, DHC series are their most expensive range. I have a DHC60 and DHC120. The 120 costs SGD458 (bought 2 weeks back). My suggestion is that always buy twice the size you need. It is my shortsightedness to get the DHC60 a few years back, thinking that is is just enough. Since then I have been stacking stuffs until i got to be careful opening the door. I couldn't take it anymore so I got the DHC120. The boxes have a long 5 year warranty so you will have peace of mind for at least 5 years.

Someone asked why no one suggested Aipo. Go to clubsnap for answers and user experience.

Anyway, you can also put in other stuffs like your leather wear inside to prevent fungus growth

Bro, you remember how much u got the DHC 60 for?
I am looking to upgrade from a AD30 to the DHC60

Can't remember, I think SGD250++. You can email digihub (the supplier for DIGI CABI) for quote. The quote should include GST and delivery.

They control their pricing as I got another quote from another shop, their authorized dealer, also the same price as delivery is still under digihub

Advice on dry cabinet placed in humid storeroom

Hi all,
Just wondering is it advisable to place the dry cabinet in a typical HDB flate store room/ bomb shelter where it's humid and minimum air flow?
Will it consume more electricity/ power?
Thanks.

Suggest putting in a more airy location. Bomb shelters are kind of closed space. Reason being the drying unit emits heat and you dont want heat to get trapped in a small space
