There are a couple of problems with the D600. First of all it seems that for about the first 3,000 shutter actuations it splatters something onto the sensor that needs to be cleaned off. It also falls down in low light focus. In an informal test with similar lenses it was unable to lock focus on a scene that my K-5 was. But, damn! If I had a couple thousand dollars burning a hole in my pocket, I'd be very tempted. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
