Next, I went over the body with an old toothbrush (no paste). Then, I took a dry paper towel and carefully brushed more off of the body. First, I used a compressed air can to blow off what I could, which wasn't much. The camera wasn't totally covered, but there were splotches on nearly every part of the body, and the lens. By the time I could do any cleaning, the mud had dried. Since you've been concerned, and kind enough to respond, I'll risk boring you with a detailed account of what I did. Let the mud dry, with the lens pointed down blow away what you can with a rocket blower, again with the lens pointed down use a turkey baster to gently wash the front element with fresh water, let dry, clean with a lens cloth and optical cleanser. The coatings on your lenses are pretty tough. The only time I use protective lens filters is at rainy day mud events otherwise I don't really like to but a piece of glass in front of a $2000 lens.Īs for the mud on the front element of your lens it's not that difficult to clean.

Obviously have to keep my pro rubber sealed lens on it or a rubber sealed body cap. I've been using 'sealed' bodies for a while now and when they get particularly dirty (photographing mud rallies with rain and flying mud or para-boarding events wind driven salt spray) I simply rinse them under a gentle stream of fresh water and let dry.
Dropped a camera once, won't happen again if I can help it.Īs for cleaning, don't know what body you have. The neck strap on my camera is around the back of my neck whenever it's out of the bag.
