Dry Cabinets

I have a 60l one that I bought off Ebay. I think there is only one UK seller that imports them from Singapore. I needed one due to living in a 300 year old cob and thatch cottage, at the bottom of a river valley, so my humidity is often above 70% The dry cabinet keeps everything at around 47% and is adjustable. Most homes of a standard construction in the UK should not need one though. I would recommend getting a cheap humidity meter(less than £10) to test your home's levels.

I keep my stuff in an autodesiccator cabinet I'd picked up on eBay for £50 (for some reason it sells for £1200 new). Was brand new when I got it, never been used because it was a 120V model that presumably someone'd bought by mistake. Soon sorted that out.
A complete overkill, but it keeps dust out of the lenses.

Thank you very much for your advice, I have now decided to get one now.
The reasons why are, I presently keep my lenses stored in Peli box's with foam inserts, and was getting worried about no air flow they do have desiccant sachets stored with them. And the reason for Peli box's is the grandchildren they dropped my 50mm A 1.7 by being curious. Many Thanks again. Regards Bob.
