Is it possible to use Lock&lock boxes with sillica gel instead of getting a dry box to 'tahan' for a moment? Cause I am planning to get a zoom lens hence i cant get a dry box now.

drybox are available at alot of places if im not wrong. i live in amk area. gotch MS colour sell.. fairprice XTRA also got sell.

for drybox. dont leave ur gear inside with sillica gel for too long .. must take out use once in awhile. cause if its too dry inside. will cause the rubber grips to dry and spoil from what ive heard as it is too dry.

u can also go HOME FIX buy hygrometer to measure the humidity loh~
