That was the problem, the padded camera bag did not throw the washer off balance or made loud thumps.

Thanks, I'll compare their price with a local Camera shop in Mobile AL

I saw water inside of the lenses after I removed them from the washer. The lenses were also foggy. I had no choice but use rice until my order of silica gel can in days later. When the gel came in the lens water and fog were gone.

Thanks

I'm going to try the newsprint also.

I'll try that. The photos at 200mm were without the Kenko teleconverter.

You are correct. In my 40+ years of washing I've always sorted my clothes in separate hampers and put them the washer by hand. This was my very first time dumping the basket and doing it in dim light.
Lesson learned

I haven't had the lens long enough to compare it with other photos taken with this lens. I've been letting the lens sit in a silica gel pack bath to help get rid of any moisture and maybe help eliminate fungus.

I don't think the photos are too bad coming from a post-wet lens and using a 3rd party (Kenko) teleconverter.

The attached photos were after the wash.

I'll try the prints and check for clarity.

All the photos were taken after the washing and rice bath.

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 that dried all the water inside. I will probably send it to Canon for cleaning if it's not too expensive.

Do you think I should send it in for repairs or invest in another lens or give it some time to heal and dry completely?

The attached photos are from the Canon 200mm lens and a few with 3rd party 1.4 teleconverter.
