Hello everyone, l‘ve joined this forum out of curiosity. I’ve had a d600 for many years and it’s been a great camera love it. Had it stored away for 6mths or so took it out recently and found the lens had broken away from the body. of course, my first instinct alright who’s been using my camera and dropped it. But nobody else has touched it and I was fine when I put it away. I found a post from back in 2013 with someone who had the same problem. Nobody was actually believing him. Everyone said he must’ve dropped it. I found another post about a rumour that if you use a heavy lens on a D6 hundred, it can break the plastic casing. Wonder if anyone else has had any experience with this. I’m pretty sure the camera bodies a right off. On the bright side though seeing the camera wasn’t dropped my lens is still okay and will fit a D7 hundred body which has a magnesium alloy casing. So I might look for secondhand D 700 body.

Welcome @bryce and good hunting for that D700.

I am kind of curious to see a photo of what broke on the D600 mount. I use a D600 (it is modified for infrared photography) and this kind of interests me. I do store for months at a time with a lightweight 28-105mm lens attached. Take cellphone photos and share please.

Thanks for that. I was having a difficult time imagining that kind of failure.

If it was my camera and I was confident nobody else handled it, I might be investigating who dropped something on top of the camera.
