Buy la. 1 dry cabinet is quite cheap as compared to the money you've invested in your DSLR gear. So it will be worthwhile, right?
Is a dry cabinet a MUST for storing my DSLR and lens?

Buy a filter for EVERY lens you have.What if you accidentely knock your lens onto a sharp object?Your lens will be spoilt.But with a filter,at least you only need to replace the filter.Not the lens
That's the reason I would buy a filter for. But I only have a kit I lens now. And it's not really worth buying an expensive filter for the kit lens. A relatively cheap filter would be more appropriate. But I have read about the effects of having a kinda cheap filter. I'm not sure about those effects but I know for sure they are not good effects.
That's why I have not bought a filter for my current kit I lens. But I am very scared of knocking my lens against a sharp object too. What to do? Is there a relatively cheap filter that does not produce those negative effects caused by filters?

Can you tell me why I shouldn't keep my camera and lens in a bag at home?

lol, the gaps between lens and filter is quite small.. if you knocked the sharp object too hard.. your filter + lens will be spoilt too..
Just get a Hoya/Kenko or Tokina can already.For a start,try memorieslink in mass sales.He has Kenko ones
if you shoot everyday, then no need for a dry cabinet, imo. I leave my lenses hanging around anyway, because these are cheap. haha. but I do have a dry box. lol.
just curious, were you suppose to start this with letter "F"?:bsmilie:
Eh, TS, I think some will say not necessary to have a dry cabinet...but I just have this feeling that 98% of CSer put their gear in dry cabinet/box etc...the rest of the 2% either just started or still looking for answer like you do
Me thinks allenleonesshart is speaking a dialect of Kurdish... Kurdish "F" word starts with the letter "T"... :bsmilie:
Well, Dry cabinet is a must (at least you can go to sleep with ease...) Otherwise, you'll be up all night checking if tiny madmartians have landed on your lens glass to start a colony or two... :bsmilie:

Attach UV filters at all cost. You wouldn't want to learn your lesson the hard way, would you?
I attended a workshop under Julian W. 2 years ago and he said that before buying your second lens, buy a dry cabinet first because it will save you a lot of worries. I stuck with it.
If you think a dry cabinet is a bit out of your budget, why not opt for a dry box? It costs around $25 at John 3:16 and MSColor. After that, get yourself a couple of bottles of silica gel ($4+/-), and that's it.

Thanks for the input.
