We all now know how to remove this stuff. But now I guess I need to add to the question. How do you remove fish guts from your camera. The ooze should leak under the shutter speed dial, under the f/stop ring, under the focus ring. And once there, you can't get it out! You'll have to send it to a repair person, who will savagely clean your equipment. Dilemma! What to protect? A cleanable lens element, or un-cleanable camera workings.
