You can make your own desiccated caps for next to free.. Go to Bigw or Kmart and ask one of the film processors in the photo shop if you can have some plastic 35 mm film containers... They gave me heaps when I asked as they throw them away.. Next time you get those silica packets in things you purchase, just keep them.... Drill lots of very small holes into the bottom and lower sides of you 35 mm film container. Then fill it with either the contents of the packs you saved or stuff the pack in if it fits.. Done! You have one made your own... The fit the tankard 1.25 eyepiece. Just use your 2" to 1.25 adaptor if you have a 2" eyepiece. All pretty simple, I have been using these for 3 years...

Oh and you can recharge or dry you packs by putting them into an oven at the end of a cooking cycle whilst the oven is warm..NOT HOT..
