These are always valid tips, but unfortunately the problem of condensation when there are unfavorable atmospheric conditions is really difficult to combat, there are no techniques or tips that hold but it is better to equip yourself with solutions to clean the lens.

I went into my room to get my camera for a beach sunset shot. I got out on the beach and my lens was fogged up. I missed the shot, but someone noticed and told me to put my camera in a zip lock bag before taking it from my room to outside. Give it a few minutes to acclimate and remove from the bag to use. I do this every time and there is no fog.

I use Zeiss Lens Wipe or similar. I saw a photographer on the beach one day and asked if her lens fogs up she said yes and uses the lens wipes. I tried it and worked great. After years of this issue I am a happy photographer

If your in a car, turn on the heater and warm the lens up before you get out.

In reply to fhayes. Tobacco? Interesting, never heard of that one. I’m going to have to give that a try this winter.

In reply to Ram. Most computer hardware comes with several bags of the stuff. In fact these days, you’ll find them with a LOT of products, regardless of what they are. Go to your local shoe shop and ask them if they have any lying around. I got around 60 of the sachets in various sizes from mine. I’m assuming they’re put in shoeboxes to keep moisture away from the leather.

In reply to Mert Lobitaña Docdor. likely not cleaning it right, or tiny scratches in the lenses. Also check the back end of the lens and make sure that section of the glass is clean.

I would add one more tip here. Put camera and lenses in thin plastic bag before leaving cold places.
Wait till they heat-up (holding in hand speeds up process). Once you fill all elements are not cold take them out of plastic bag.
