I packed all of the film and the lenses and cameras with silica-gel packs that I made from old film canisters. Everything was put into Seal-line dry bags with the silica-gel packs. So far, I haven't had any damage from fungus on the lenses - only on my feet! When I lived in Venezuela, I kept all of my photography equipment in a closet with a light on all of the time and never had problems with fungus. Hope this helps!
