[QUOTE="hark, post: 204744, member: 13196"] Surprisingly I received my camera back from service tonight. When I first spoke with a supervisor about the camera still having oil spots, I was told to send it back, and Nikon would identify whatever was causing the oil and replace it. Sounds good, doesn't it? Except nothing was replaced at all. Supposedly the low pass filter was cleaned again; however, I even question whether that was even done. This is the very first shot out of the camera (shadows adjusted so the spots are more visible): [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]54773._xfImport[/ATTACH] Here is the same image, but I cropped it so only the upper right corner of the photo is displayed. This represents 25% of the sensor: [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]54775._xfImport[/ATTACH] And I don't know what that light colored blob is. Since I cleaned my lenses for tomorrow's photo walk, I doubt it's from the lens. It certainly wasn't there the last time I took a test shot either. It was getting dark outside tonight so I won't be able to take any additional photos tonight. So of course I called asking for the latest supervisor who helped me, but he wasn't available. They told me they'd leave a message to have him call me. Since they didn't ask for my name or any service order number, I asked if she knew my name. She immediately stated my name. I do have call block on my line so obviously Nikon has a way to unblock the feature--just giving you a heads up if you are ever in my position. For those who are considering buying a D600, please make an informed choice. Do you want to go through this? There is another thread here requesting people state the positives about the D600. In all honesty, I've had these spots for months and months now and haven't been able to get them to stop that I can't remember what it is like to obtain a decent photo from this camera. Of course the OP in that other thread condemns people such as me who keep posting about the oil/dust issue. Heck, if Nikon would actually fix the problem, perhaps there wouldn't be so many unhappy posts about the D600. [/QUOTE]
