[QUOTE="NVSteve, post: 140692, member: 13248"] Yeah, it's back to clear plastic bags for me. About the only thing I miss from my Oly E-3 is the weathersealing. No way will I subject the D600 to the same as I did with the Oly, at least not without a bag. Same goes for the lenses. Having kept my eye on Nikon bodies throughout the digital era, it always annoyed me to death that nowhere does Nikon say or list which lenses are (somewhat) sealed & which are not. A gold ring does not equate weather sealing, nor does a gasket on the lens mount. I posted this elsewhere, but the folks at lensrentals take apart their lenses often for repair. When they took apart the 70-200 VRII "pro" lens, they found a gasket in the front and one in the rear on the mount. Nothing else inbetween, like under the zoom and focus rings. I had vowed never to get another camera I would need to bag, since I'm so anti-bag, but man oh man is the D600 sensor worth the pain. Even with the oil & dust issues I've been having. [/QUOTE]
