Q. My Canon 18-55mm has fogged up from the inside. Is there any way to clear it up?
Or is it a goner?
Or is it a goner?
Answer
If fogged on the - inside... just leave it somewhere dry and warm. A oven - NOT ON - but with just the inside light on, is a good choice.. Not out in the sun or something like that.. If too hot, plastic parts can and will warp.

Hopefully you will not have evaporation spots when the fog clears. If you do, it may require professional help. It may anyhow because lenses normally do not do this unless subjected to extreme humidity or direct moisture..

I have caps for everything both the camera and lens. i bought a Nikon camera bag to help protect it. i was just a little worried about traveling with the lens in tacked with the camera. don't wanna break something. thanks for all your input. :)
Answer
First of all, never ever store your camer and lens in the camera bag when not using it for a long time, especially if you live in a humid climate.
It is advised to store your lens in places without stagnant air, or inside a dry cabinet with controled humidity level. Keeping it in a bag (or closet) will just invide fungus to grow on your lens.
If you live in a very dry climate then this may not apply, as long as you don't keep it for too long in your bag. As for whether to attached the lens, well, if you do not need to take it out, don't take it out, it will only make dust goes inside.
