IT wont rust now ;-)
I have to agree, I know if I get water on my glasses, or on the window of my
house, when it rains on my car, I leave this water on until it dries
naturally it still leaves little water rings where every drop of water was
sitting.

That doesn't make sense to me. If the stains result from dissolved
solids, they'll be there whether the drying is fast or slow. If they're
from dissolving something in the lens which then is left deposited
someplace else, it seems to me it would be best to get the water out as
soon as possible. I don't know what lubricants are used inside lenses,
but they present a concern as their surface tension will be different
from that of the water so they might be displaced by the water. I
assume that there is nothing in the lens that will rust.

In the future, don't use the oven it dries the water too fast and leaves
stains. You have to sacrifice the lens to a closet or cupboard and let
it dry naturally.
