If you don't mind, you could send them to me and I could see if I can clean
them up for useage again. I've worked on a few camera lens that have been
fished out of water and while maybe now 100% as they used to be, they where
useable afterwards. As I live out in the High Mojave Desert, they would be
far from any flooding and I use my model making tools for stuff like that.
No charge either other than postage.
