[QUOTE="Lewis Haank, post: 3327502, member: 135472"] So I tried Swaro again. They emailed me the following (names have been removed to protect the guilty): Good Morning, We had discussed some issues about finding a protective filter for your ATX 85mm. I contacted our digiscoping – camera expert. I have attached his response below as well as what I asked him. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any further assistance. Thank you, Exxx Dxxxxxxx "Protection Filters" are a myth that camera stores use to sell high-profit accessories. Salt water and sand, etc., can be washed off at the end of the day. Stick it under the faucet and use a q-tip to clean off the stuff. They will not hurt the scope short-term. Cxxx Txxxxx TOS Life Member Swarovski Optik N.A. (Calallen) Corpus Christi, TX Question to Cxxx “I have a guy who purchased an ATX 85mm Objective. He is looking to take it to the Ocean, but heard the salt mist wasn’t good for the lens. He’d like to purchase a protective filter for the 85mm objective, but can’t seem to find anything in that size.
