Greetings friends,
I have a brand new Arca Swiss 4x5 that I used on the seashore on one occasion. Subsequent to this, I noted rust on some of the screws on the standard and rail. This occurred even though I took care to wipe down the camera with a moist cloth to remove any salt residue. I have also noticed that my Arca Swiss B1 ballhead is susceptible to rust at the pan-movement locking screw. After spending a small fortune for this camera (including a 40% import duty to my country) I am rather, well, disappointed. Is there any way to minimize rusting? Spray the screws with WD-40 or something? Thanks for your input everybody.
