I consider myself a caretaker of my quality Canon glass. I get to use it and it does not depreciate as quickly as most other possessions. In fact I can sell my 300mm F2.8L for more than I paid for it.
There is no point having it if you do not use it.
I use my lens in rain sleet dust sand and snow as it is fully sealed! A little bit of dew is nothing!
Salt water is not even a problem if it is connected to a pro canon camera. The front element is an optical flat that protects the carefully figured lenses inside. This is relatively cheap to to replace.
What you are paying for is a single crystal of Magnesium Fluoride as the main front lens element and far more.
