So sorry for your misfortune. I recommend you take the lens to the Camera Pro at 2042 Boulevard Pere-Lelievre in Quebec City. Excellent shop, the guy's name is Rene.

It fell off the dock into ±2 feet of lake water! Underwater for less than 10 seconds. About 3 tablespoons of water is visible behind the big front glass. I was hoping it was between the front glass and clear filter but it was not the case. I kept it upright (camera side up) on the workbench for 24 hours and water is slowly coming out. Now, it is at an angle as seen in the picture. I searched the Web for dismantling, but found nothing? The Dealer says Sony will not touch (try to fix) a lens that went underwater for obvious reasons. I will check with home insurance...? Credit card had limited coverage, but is now out of delay. Very well seems like a write off...

Good news, the attached a6000 dried up under the sun, and upon turn on asked to select time zone, set the date and time, which had me worrying? Now it seems to work just fine! Sensor will need cleaning to get rid of the water stains.

Any positive thoughts?
Thanks, Louis

You already have plenty pieces of advice but if nothing else, keep the lens, take it apart and attempt to put it back together. You may not be successful in repairing it but you will learn a lot and that knowledge may help you in the future like if you needed to remove the front element to clean dust or mold from a lens.

Well WesIam,
We don't all have the same relationship with water.
May as well have a little fun before I close this post with a conclusion. Here's a pic of us at a younger time. Amazingly, the kite flyer managed to land on his two skis! I was happy to be driving the boat on this occasion and not the other way around!
Cheers, Louis
