I used to store my cameras and lenses inside a foam-lined Pelican case. Did it for years. Now I keep them in a safe, but I have used the foam from a Pelican case to line the boxes that hold the lenses. They've been stored that way now for about 5 years. I haven't experienced any problems.
However, I'm not in Texas. That could conceivably make a difference. But Pelican cases are specially designed for sensitive equipment, so I expect it should be ok. Might be an idea to have a look at their website. -- Cheers, Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 07 June 2005 20:57 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Storing lenses in Pelican case > > Pelican supplied foam does not emit gases.
