Help! Strong smell of mould coming from lens - but no visible signs?
Hello!
I am currently using a Z8 and 180-600 among other lenses. I was just switching back to the 180-600, and caught a whiff like mouldy bread. Took a big sniff from the Camera side of the lens, and the smell is strong there. However, I can't see any sign of actual mould or fungus. The lens and camera also live in a humidity cabinet when not in use (or a peli case for short periods of time otherwise). I can't think of any time moisture has been allowed in there unchecked - I might’ve sprayed too much lens cleaner in there once, but that was months ago, and there hasn't been a smell until just now.
What on earth is going on? Even outside of the humidity cabinet I'm not in a sillily humid area (south east UK), and have never had an issue like this!
What can I do?
