Thanks to all for your input. After the water pretty well seeped out of the lens, condensation is now apparent behind the glass closest to the camera and, at the other end condensation behind the second glass element. The lens is now in a container with rice. I have printed the list of authorised repair centers here in Canada and will be making calls today as I head back into town... Let's see how this turns out? Cheers, Louis
Do please let us know, if nothing else as a road map in case this befalls one of us. I live on a lake here in Maine and often have the apprehension that something like this will happen when I'm on the boat or dock.
