Not too much of a learning curve and my first impression is how well it handles high ISO. A few things I need to explore but I have about 90% of it down. My biggest disapointment is that my fave Tamron 18-270 lens will only work as a DX lens. Looks like I need to do some shopping for a similar FX lens. My Nikon 50mm 1.8 prime works fine in FX so I guess I will be using that for a while. Any recomendations on a decent "all-in-one" walk around lens that is FX compatible?I did ask the salesman about the dust/oil issue and he stated that the early production of this model had a problem but that the newer ones do not. He told me that it would show itself right away and that I can return it within their 30 day policy as long as there is 200 or less activations (B&H in NYC). He told me how many have been produced and that a small number of the early ones demonstrated that behaviour. He could only guess why it happened at all. Anything to too much oil applied and shipping problems (heat). I rolled the dice and so far 69 shots and nothing to see.I'll update this thread as I take more photo's. Keeping my fingers crossed.Serial # 3061695 but I do not have a clue as to when it was manufactured except for the salesmans statement that it is recent. B&H sells a lot of them so there is no way it can be an older production model. This store is HUGE and crowded but I was still waited on in a quick and courteous manner. Excellent experience and would not hesitate to buy from them again.</blockquote>
