Yes - the practical experience of many photographers confirms that if you take warm equipment outside into cold conditions that condensation will form on the surface of eg the lens. Interestingly, this result is not predicted by basic theory. In almost every explanation of condensation that you will find, condensation occurs when warm air is cooled by a cooler surface so that the air drops below its "dew point" and can no longer contain all of the water that it is carrying.
So, the condensation from cold air on a warm surface is not expected, but is a very real actual effect. Various scenarios can be proposed to explain this apparent anomaly. So far I have not met a satisfying explanation BUT the effect is real.

How does condensation accor?
Condensation occurs when gas or vapor cools and changes into liquid form due to a decrease in temperature. This process is commonly observed when warm air comes into contact with a cold surface, causing the air to release moisture and form water droplets.
When is condensation more likely to occur?
Condensation usually occurs on a surface that is cooler than the adjacent gas. A substance condenses when the pressure exerted by its vapour exceeds the vapour pressure of its liquid or solid phase at the temperature of the surface where the condensation is to occur. The process causes the release of thermal energy. Condensation occurs on a glass of cold water on a warm, humid day when water vapour in the air condenses to form liquid water on the glass's colder surface. Condensation also accounts for the formation of dew, fog, rain, snow, and clouds.
When does condensation work?
Condensation occurs when water vapor in the air cools and changes back into liquid form, such as when warm air comes into contact with a cold surface. This process is commonly seen on windows, bathroom mirrors, or when warm breath meets cold air on a cold day.
What is the name of the process that causes droplets to form on the outside of the glass?
Condensation is the process that causes droplets to form on the outside of a glass. This occurs when warm air comes into contact with a cold surface, causing the air to cool and release moisture in the form of droplets.
When water droplets appears outside of a cold glass of iced tea this is an example of?
condensation, which occurs when warm air comes into contact with a cold surface, causing the air to cool and release moisture in the form of water droplets.
Condensation occurs when?
Condensation occurs in cold when water vapour condense to form tiny droplets of water.
What conditions must be present to frost to form?
water vapour/ cold /and a condensation medium

Why there is water on glass when ice melts?
Water forms on the surface of the glass when ice melts due to condensation. As the ice melts, it releases water vapor which comes into contact with the cooler surface of the glass, causing it to condense and form water droplets.

What is the process of water droplets form on cold surface?
When warm, moisture-laden air comes into contact with a cold surface, the air cools down rapidly. This causes the air's moisture to condense and form tiny water droplets on the cold surface. This process is known as condensation.
What are two things that form droplets?
Water condensation on a cold surface and oil in a pan when cooking can form droplets.
What is difference between vaporization and condensation?
Condensation is where a vapour (gas) is cooled, and droplets of liquid form. Vapourisation is where a liquid is heated, and the liquid turns into vapour (gas).
What does condensation mean?
Condensation is the process of a substance changing from a gas to a liquid. E.g when you get water on the inside of a window. The window has water vapour on it. The the cold rain hits the warmer surface of the window which has water vapour on. When water vapour is cooled it turns into water (a liquid. The water will then start to drip down on the inside of the window because the water vapour which was on the inside of the window has been cooled. And then turned in to a liquid! Condensation is what the clouds are called The water evaporates into the sky on a sunny day and becomes clouds in the sky the changing of a gas into a liquid.
If a cold empty glass is suddenly placed outside on a hot humid day?
Condensation will form on the surface of the glass.
Why do I have condensation on my windows?
Condensation forms on windows when warm, moist air comes into contact with a cold surface, causing the air to release water vapor in the form of droplets.
Why is there condensation on my windows?
