Dorothy Robin Davies-Rollinson April 20th, 2004, 12:35 PM A Google search for "silica gel packets" gave this (among others) http://www.adorama.com/ZZSG.html Robin.

Dorothy Engleman April 20th, 2004, 09:14 PM Thanks for the pic, Dan. http://store.yahoo.com/cinemasupplies/pesigel15.html B & H carries this but I hesitated getting it for my small Canon ZR. And thanks, Robin! Shame that B & H doesn't carry 'em as Adorama's S & H is twice as much. The only silica paper packs B & H sells are these: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=cart&A=details&Q=&sku=17351&is=REG I've yet to figure out what makes these worth $11 more than Adorama's.

Andy Guest April 23rd, 2004, 06:19 PM yeah, i just save all the ones i get from my shoe boxes Jeff Price April 29th, 2004, 08:03 PM You can get larger amounts that go in a holder. Once the silica have absorbed water they change color. To restore them you gently bake them to get the water out. I found this holder at a local camera store and used it in a ziploc bag with my tapes when I was in the rainforest. |
