I, too, have had my camera soaked. Besides shooting at working fires
a lot, I was once smacked in the head by a sail (moral : don't close
the non-focussing eye !!) into Newpoort Bay. I was able to put my
lens in an oven (~120-130 degrees) for about 20 minutes -- cleared it
right up. Some bodies even work with this method, but beware of
warping (or shrinking) a cloth shutter. Whenever I worked fires, I
usually had duct tape on the seams (and Scotch-Guard'ed my tenba !! --
well worth the coupla bucks it cost...). The only problem with that is
you gotta carry 3 or four bodies if you don't wanna run away every roll.
