I just bought a used Canon EOS 5D Mark III. Seems brand new in most respects except one. It came in the original packaging, all the bits and pieces, even the original English and Spanish instruction manuals.

But it stinks. Whoever owned it previously must’ve washed their hands in cheap cologne every time they touched the thing. Now every time I pick it up I smell like a casting director in the San Fernando Valley. And it’s not just a little bit. It’s enough that it makes my gums itch.

I guess maybe I can just wait it out as long as my asthma inhaler lasts, but if there’s a way to clean it without messing it up I’d like to try. What do I do to de-stinkify this thing? TIA!

(Obligatory photo of the camera and the first picture I took with it)
