Site searches rarely work. SKY can't even handle passwords properly..... They seem to lose mine every time I try to log on.

It took years for Firefox to handle two words or more and Amazon's is very poor.

I remember when the BT Phone directory was case sensitive and you could search the whole country for "john smith" and it would come back with no matches found

I don't think any of these companies think the internet is here to stay

Alternatively just weigh the dry bag and record it. Dry out when the weight increases.

You could just put a dust cloth over the lenses. It might actually help if the cloth (cotton ? ) also absorbs moisture keeping the lenses even drier.

I've never heard of any problems with silica gel. It does only absorb moisture from air that is very close to it though. It won't suck it in from further away.

Seculine make a very powerful IR Remote that works up to about 30M away with Pentax. It can also be bounced etc. The worst possible case would be to put a piece of alloy foil (mince pie case etc.) to bounce it into the IR receiver on the camera.

The cheapest is the Seculine Twin1 R3 TRS Remote Shutter Controller for Sony DSLR Cameras £13 off Ebay. You only need the transmitter part so throw the rest away. The receivers are for cameras with no IR built in.

All transmitters are the same model TWIN1 R3-UT
