Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for your prompt response, Gary.

I'm concerned too about the threat from wetness. I've always avoided  
rainy weather (no snow where I live), but I haven't been worrying  
about condensation. Now that I am, I'm curious to know whether you  
were wearing the battery grip (BG-E6) on the bottom of your 5D2, and  
whether you ever noticed condensation with your "old" camera(s)? I  
never have, in the several years I've been trying to learn  
photography, and I usually get a good look after I come in from  
shooting, because I take off whatever lens was on and even take the  
filter off it (for cleaning) before storing everything separately (in  
neoprene bags).

Thanks again.
