The Cleanest 200mm Lens and Pelicans
May 8, 2020 22:09:28 #
I accidentally dropped my camera bag in my clothes hamper and dumped all the items in the washing machine for the entire wash/rinse cycle. When I got ready to put the clothes in the dryer at 11:00 pm, my neighbors heard me scream with very harsh words. My Canon 200mm 2.8, 50mm 1.8, Speedlite 470EX AI, batteries, and a few other items were in the bag. Well, I can tell you that none of these items are weather sealed. I was able to save my two lenses by putting them in a rice bath. I'm thinking about sending them to Canon for cleaning.
The attached photos are from my 200mm lens.

Is the Speedlite fried? If so, perhaps it's because the batteries were still in it. At least it's not terribly expensive. Were these pix taken before the laundering? ;)
I did that once with a Dremel. Don't ask me how I didn't notice the sound of the thud when I threw everything from the basket into the washing machine. I figured out what the thud was after the fact. Ended up throwing out some of the attachments, but the Dremel survived. Hope your lenses are OK.
