Just had a lens knocked back for trade in due to a parasite within the lens.
This is an EF 200mm f2.8/L ii stored in a 'dry cupboard at 40% RH.
I've lost 2 lenses up to now. The first I'd lent out and the borrower had kept it behind the microwave in bacteria alley!
The second was an EF 28-135 which was quite old but a good copy. The sealing was non existant so I'd blame that and being stored next to an outside wall
I wouldn't have expected this from a pro lens and now im worried about all my other lenses. I keep some in the dry cab and the rest in camera bags.
My lounge is usually 15-20C with an RH of 40-57.
