A local camera repair shop suggested this technique to me. He had tried
it once with a Pentax. The sand blaster was set up for cleaning shrimp
boats. They sat the camera down on a steel pedestal and blasted away. I'm
not sure how it turned out - they are still looking for the camera!

Now I know how lenses get the "cleaning marks" rating sometimes found in
ads for used ones. Could be an interesting conversion for creating "soft
focus" lenses. I suppose you can rest assured there is zero fungus and the
focus helical should have that brand new, very stiff feel to it.
