I haven’t noticed this issue on my D600, which is a great camera, and I prefer it to the D800 I’m going to sell.

The D800 has a left focus issue, which Nikon seems to be in denial about, where if the center focus sensors focus properly, when using the viewfinder, the left focus sensors when used will be out of focus.

The D800 is a great camera, and it doesn’t affect the landscape type photography I mainly do, but there are a great many photogs not happy with their $3000 paperweights.

I prefer the D600 for its smaller size and lighter weight, and the fact that it uses the ML-L3 wireless remote, about the size of a matchbook and selling for less than $15. Extremely convenient compared to the clunky and expensive rig you need to do the same thing with Nikon’s pricier cameras.

Anyway, Swampie, thanks for the heads up. I’ll keep an eye out for dust in my pics.

Later.

Take some sky shots, if there is crud on the sensor it will be obvious.

I've got an illuminated sensor loupe, I can really do a thorough inspection of the sensor. It was a good investment.

I am still shooting with a D40 - my first DSLR. Prior to this I was an OM4/4T (Olympus) geek until moving over to Nikon, basically for the sake of one lens. My favorite body of all time is the FE, followed by the F3 variants.

In any case I mention this because I would appreciate any recommendations. I would like to buy a USED camera and spend less than a grand. I tend to shoot in very low light conditions, and can't stand flashes.

As always SNIPER thanks for your regular dose of inspiration.
