Water in pentaprism.

[Gitty69]

Covered Cardiff v Wolves yesterday and it absolutely emptied down. Got water in my viewfinder on my 1D MK 3. Trying to dry it out as we speak but not too hopeful. Anybody got any good ideas???
Anybody had it repaired at Fixation, lehmanns etc?

Lens off, focus screen out (if possible) and leave it in a dry atmosphere with some sort of desiccant around.

The old rice trick could work quite well.
Also as said a few bags of desiccant will help greatly too.

I reckon silica gel and patience will do the job but don't rush it. Allow it to dry naturally. Remove any batteries and cards too.
