Last weekend I was standing knee deep in sea water with waves coming in
around me and salt spray in the air while holding my *istD with DFA50
f2.8 macro attached (with modified AF360fgz flash). Normally I would
have had the FA100 f2.8 macro. I keep it all in an Ortleib waterproof
bag when I'm not actually taking pictures and I don't remove the lens or
the memory card (4GB) until I get back to a safe environment. I also
clean everything thoroughly when I am finished.
The limited lenses (43 & 77) tend to get the best treatment.

2. Which lens will you only bring out in the nicest conditions?
(and as a result this lens, though perhaps now having some age to it,
still looks like new)
