[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 151735, member: 6548"] OK...I would not be scared of buying a D600 but here is the first thing I would do when I got the body before I ever shot a picture with it...I would contact John Goodman and get a piece of foam. Then I would scrape off all of the foam on the camera body where the mirror slaps the top of the frame and replace it with this new foam. My theory why this has become an issue with the D600 is that they have some kind of screwy inferior compound foam formulation at that point and the mirror is "dragging" particles off of the foam piece in question and slapping them on the bottom of the covered sensor. The reason why they are coming back from repair with the same issue is because they keep using the same foam and the same thing happens over again. Take a lupe and look at that foam piece and see if it is rough looking. Surely it couldn't be so simple??? John Goodman will sell you a piece of foam for like 9 bucks...I am contacting him soon and discussing this issue with him...he was Interslice on ebay but he has stopped selling there...Goodman and Interslice foam kits have an excellent reputation for film camera reseal foam kits and have for years...now lots of folks have jumped in on the goldmine... If this is indeed a solution than now is the time to snap up those cheap D600's that everyone has relegated to the lemon heap... [/QUOTE]
