Lens fogging

chiphead · Sep 27, 2010

As I was going from an air condition room to the humid rainy outdoors I'd noticed that the lens on my Inova T3 fogged up. Does someone have a fix for this, I was going to use RainX No-Fog, but I don't know how it will effect the coating.

If it fogged up on the outside of the lens use a soft cotton wash cloth and gently wipe the lens. If you can rinse it safely with water do that first.

Is the fogging on the inside of the window?

rain x will coat the glass with thin film, wheather it will affect coating permanently is a good question, but it will most likely defeat the purpose of original coat, at least for as long as rain x is there.

On the outside. It fogs up the same way ones glasses will under the same conditions.

I've got a clunker I want to try the Rain-X on just to see what happens. I've got to have my gear together for this winter, I think it's going to be a cold/wet one.

The answer is quite simple. You need to pump in argon and xenon gas inside your lamp assembly and then make it airtight.

That won't stop the outside from fogging!

How hard is it to wipe off the freakin lens one time? :thinking:

Or burn off the fog since pretty much anything decently bright warms up enough to do that.
