After returning from a week in the eastern Sierra Nevadas, my tech lenses (Schneider APO Digitars) had a lot of dust in between the elements. I sent them back to the dealer and just got them back after a cleaning (pristine now, fortunately!). We think the dust may have entered through the shutter cocking slot or elsewhere; the elements are well sealed to the mounting plate.
Does anyone have any techniques for keeping dust out of these lenses? Please don't respond to not use them in a dusty environment... I really only shoot landscapes and won't be able to avoid dust in some of the venues I'm going to (Death Valley, Monument Valley, etc.).
Any advice very much appreciated,
Bob
