Any clever ideas to quickly deal wth lens fog?
Using the car vent with the heater on...
Hand dryer in a public restroom...
Wet a towel in hot, hot water or microwave a damp cloth
and warm the front lens with that, then dry...
Remove the lens cap and let the sun shine on it for a minute...
If the Bride is hot or the Model ask them to touch the lens passionately...
Bottom line - warm that puppie up then dry it off.
Have a spare lens warmed up and ready for out doors.

Also RainX makes an anti fogging product.

It works on bathroom mirrors to keep the steam from fogging them as well for a week or two. I know it sounds crazy but it works. You just put it on wipe it off and buff it.

I've heard using RainX before, can this be done?

I was thinking about that as I kept wiping. I was worried it would end up being worse.
Normally I work out of a Pelican case, which is sealed when closed. This keeps the back-up gear from cooling down/heating up too much. At most weddings I also have the few minutes required for the cold lens to warm up. This was a small, fast wedding, and I decided it was safe to leave the case in the car. Next time I'll just anticipate the problem, and tell the B & G I need a few minutes for my gear to acclimate (or to go get a back-up camera) before they make their grand exit.

That excuse did occur to me.
