I am going to Namibia next year, and plan to take my Arca 5x4. The problem is that there is a lot of sand where I'll be, and the wind blows. So there is, I suspect, significant danger of sandblasting the lens. I'm reluctant to take my 110XL. So, could someone recommend a cheap lens for 5x4 in the 110 to 135 range where it won't be a tragedy if it gets sandblasted? It needs to be something that comes with (or at least which will screw into) a decent shutter as the light will be strong so I need to be able go down to a 250th at least. I guess I could use a sacrificial filter instead, but still sand plus $1000 lens does worry me a bit so I'd prefer to buy some (quasi-disposable) glass for the trip.
Many thanks
David.
