Re: How do you shoot without drops on the lens element?

Henry

I was happy to be using a sealed camera with all that foam and salt spray in the air, but keeping it off the front filter required the hood and my hand.  I had to wipe it down with my shirttail a couple of times while adjusting my technique.  A big lens hood is a help, works best for tele shots.

I agree with your question.  I took some shots recently with snow dripping off trees above me.  My rear screen stopped working but it turned out to be a water drop on the EVF sensor.
