Title: Lens fogging?
Post by: lokidog on October 25, 2015, 12:11:51 PM: How do you guys keep the lens from fogging. I put a little hood over last night using a piece of bark, but just got uderexposed, foggy pictures as a result.

This is a pig of a buck for the island, was hoping to see some kind of mark on him that showed he was the one that I hit last weekend, but no luck. He, and a spike, came in while we were using the bloodglow stuff a hundred or so yards away in the woods.

Camera is the G42NG from Stealthcam.

It's made to rub on your ski goggles to keep them from fogging up. They sell it at most ski shops. Just an idea, not sure it will work but might be worth a shot?

We were through that meadow before and after this picture was taken and it didn't seem that foggy.

It came in a clear container ( was blue green color) Any one wearing glasses would get a free demo. I bought some, it works well. One container should last a lifetime, have never tried it on camera lens, but plan on it now, to field test it. There are many similar products on the market I haven't tried Parker's anti fog/cleaner, Kleer vu Anti fog.
