Trouble with DK-17M
Airy:
First trouble was losing one in the woods. It would easily unscrew itself from my Df, and I lost it several times. This time, it probably fell silently into the mud.
While ordering a new one, I tried to re-use the one mounted on my D800. As it was not clean, I washed it with lukewarm water and mild liquid soap. Now it is clean but, lo and behold, water made its way between the two elements - they are not cemented, it seems, or at least not properly. Now it looks like a mild case of cataract...
... sigh ... not sure what to do.
Birna Rørslett:
Put it into the oven and bake for 50-70 C overnight or as long as it takes to be clear view. If condensation or fog returns after the piece is cooled to ambient temperature, repeat the treatment.

I lost mine a few times and had the luck to hear the noise and recovered it.
Tried unsuccessfully fix it with superglue. It still remains unscrewing. I hate it.

Thanks. Just had a successful try with the heater (60°C water circulation) and all went well...
Olivier:
A Tupperware box with a few silica gel bags would also do.
Good to hear you fixed the problem anyway!
