My house flooded over the weekend. Bad pipes case...
I had my studio equipment set up in my living room and was in the middle of a photo session with my large format camera. We made a pause to grab something to eat... when we came back there was a waterfall in the middle of my living room. I had my camera bag right underneath the waterfall.
Luckily, my dslr wasn't in the backpack, but my 70-210 and my 50 prime were. When I got them from underwater, they were completely full of water.... drained and put in my daughter's bedroom (in front of one of the industrial dehumidifier and blower that I had to rent to dry my house).
The prime looks dry with a few spots in the glass, haven't tried to clean to see if it's internal or external. The 70-210 I think it's a lost cause, since all elements seem fogged.
So the question... do I just tossed them away or try to open and clear? The 70-210 is a cheap lens, and I don't believe it will be worthy sending it out to clean.
