Just follow all the good advice here on cleaning, and keep those cameras facing down when you unmount those lenses. Then it is straight forward to cleaning those mounting surfaces.
And to the one who said,
"I NEVER get any of my equipment within a 100 miles of the conditions you described. Sand is the absolute worst thing you can get near your camera.
Lesson learned?"
I say , no risk, no reward. I have made some of my greatest. most impactful, and award-winning shots in bad weather and challenging conditions, and my gear survived with proper preparation and care before and after the shoot. That is the only lesson. Keep pushing and challenging yourself and your gear to get those special shots.
If you just want to shoot from your armchair or only shoot in nice weather, your photos will always be just safe shots. LOL
Not for this professional, who has shot in the dead of the worst winter blizzards, in hurricanes, in extreme ocean shoots (above and below water) , sandy beaches, and sandy desert environments, in steaming rain forest jungle war conflicts, and so much more. Gear is just a tool to be used. The image is what matters and what is lasting.

I guess shooting from my armchair in nice weather will only produce safe shots? Oh whoa is me. I am not sure what I am going to do now. I guess my armchair will get well worn over the next couple of years.
