How do you prevent mold on your camera lens?

Aren't you going to use the lens for a while? Store the lens somewhere other than in your photo bag. That's because mold likes damp and dark spaces. In addition, mold grows faster in poorly ventilated spaced. So a closed photo bag is the ideal environment for mold. Store your lens in a closet in a properly ventilated room so the mold doesn't stand a change.

The risk of mold is much greater in a warm space. After all, molds like hot temperatures. In addition, hot spaces have a higher humidity level. And molds like moisture as well. That's why it's important to store the lens at room temperature with an average humidity level. The room should also be well lit and properly ventilated.

You've discover mold on one of your lenses. It's very important to separate this lens from your other lenses as soon as possible. That's because molds can easily spread to other lenses if they're stored together. Once you've done that, take the moldy lens to a professional to have it cleaned.

Leather is very sensitive to moisture. So don't store your lens in a leather bag or cover for a long time. If you do, the risk of mold is greater. Do you use a leather bag or cover anyway? Take care of the leather properly with leather grease. This way, you keep the leather in great condition and the material won't attract moisture as quickly.
