My friend bought a D600 from me last month. today he bring it back to me in this shape


That D600 Was attach with a Nikkor 24-70 F2.8 when it fall down from a table (4ft height).
The metal lens mount Teardwon from the D600 and the stick on the back of 24-70..
We brought it back to nikon malaysia service center today and they said the cost of repair it back to fully functioning might cost another D600... (at the end he buy another new D600, and will leave this in his dry box for the rest of his life..)

Guys, do not hold your D600 with 1 hand when a heavy lens attached. The Metal lens mount is stick on that piece of plastic (D700 and D800 are on metal body)

24-70 is in perfect shape, surprise that got no scratch at all on that lens.

dose not mean u must carry your D600 like a baby, but always remember, there`s only a piece of plastic in between your camera and lens, Dont Drop It.... (D800/D700 is connected on the metal dslr body)

just dont drop or knock that lens somewhere.. There is always few reason why D600 is only cost 60% of D800...

actually there is alot of parts connected there.. front body cover, inner body structure, and alot small pieces part.

ya, but some camera survive some small impact cause their metal lens mount is attached on metal body, D600 is just on a piece of plastic... take 2 times more care on D600..
