yeah probably so, maybe something about the generally very dry air down there

Could well be a SoCal thing. I shoot down there much less often than along the Central and Northern California coast. Pointing the lens away from the spray is always a good idea, as is putting the lens cap back on.

Good to hear from those of you who shoot in this a lot. Sounds like I am doing plenty just leaving my B+W MRC filters on the front of my lenses and avoiding any direct contact with sand/sea. I almost always clean the filters within a day or two with alcohol and a lens cloth as well as wiping down the lenses if I see anything or feel anything out of the usual.

Looking forward to seeing a picture of Goosemang's solution to sealing the zoom/focus rings too.

I appreciate all of the advice y'all!


forgot about this, sorry

it's just a snug elastic type band that is wide enough to cover the ring but it's still easy to turn

I mean is not sand proof, but it's something
