Fortunately, I haven't (yet!) dropped a lens into water though I have been knee deep in a few mountain burns and have had to dry out tripod legs.
However I thought I would pass on an interesting snippet from a friend of mine who dropped his iPhone down a toilet (I know . . .) He wrapped it in a microfibre cloth, then immersed the phone (in the cloth) in an open lunch box filled with uncooked rice and placed it on top of a radiator which was on a very low heat. Left it for a day or so, and the said phone works fine apparently. The logic I think is that the rice will draw out the moisture! It could well be a way of dealing with soggy lenses Phil |

If you ever are unfortunate enough to drop anything into sea water rinse it thoroughly in plenty of fresh cold running water ASAP - just to get the salt out of it.
Uncooked rice is an excellent desiccant Martin |
