Anyone still using the D600? You guys still got the oil/dust issue?

Borrowed my dad's D600 (casual photographer, these days uses his phone pretty much all the time lol) for my trip to Japan and just realized during editing that there's oil spot everywhere. bangwall.gif

Thought Nikon fixed the issue when he sent it for service a while back, but nope, looks like the issue's back. Considering Nikon is going to discontinue the free service next Jan, I'm wondering if it's best to just sell off the camera and get a smaller mirrorless camera instead. Thoughts?

"Smaller mirrorless" is likely Nikon Z since you wanna be using back your F mount lenses?

Only have the 24-85mm kit lens and a 50 1.8g, so not much in terms of glasses. Was planning on getting the tamron 24-70 g2, but if i'm going to sell the d600, not sure if that's a good idea since the internet is showing mixed result on whether the tamron is compatible with the z system or not. Heard that it is, but need firmware update. But then again, if I were to use the ftz adapter with the g2... it probably won't be that much smaller than with the D600 right? lol.

Looks like you haven't invested much in the Nikon system, can consider the Z or maybe jump ship to something smaller like X-T30. Crop sensor lens are usually smaller, but well... its a "downgrade", somewhat.

Yep, not much of my own money anyway haha. Grew up in a nikon family, from an FM2, to a D5000, and just recently 'inherited' the d600. Z6 looks tempting, but right now at least, e-mount lenses appears to be cheaper than the z-mount lenses. tongue.gif
