I. Wanted the flippy screen, 51 af system, etc over the d610
I figured it should last a while. Lol. Hopefully

You should talk to your homeowners or renters underwriter and add a policy for camera gear. Mine was less than $15/1000 insured per year..

Uuuuum, this calls for another photo shoot with your bud. I will buy you food next time out. I should be eating normally by that time.

Congrats!

I'll be more than happy to get that crappy broken thing out of your sight for you.

Going to see if I can get it fixed
Then see about a conversion to full spectrum. Or as a backup.

sure, let's plan for one. Except try the other side of the river first where the big birds all are LOL and other venues.

When I had my D7000 I dropped it a good 5 feet straight onto the lens, luckily the mount on the body was undamaged because the lens mount was plastic on the 18-105. If it had been a metal mount, probably a different story. I changed the mount on the lens and it worked fine, not the most easiest thing in the world but not bad with a youtube video being a guide.

I know the feeling, especially when its the only camera you own. Its scary.

This was with the 150-600, so a long lens, thus putting much more torque on the lens mount. If I had a small lens on it I don't think anything would have happened.

I also went against 2 of my rules .. put the camera'lens on the ground (it can't fall down if it's on the ground) and take the camera off the lens (I actually was off searching for the body and lens cap when this happened to take them apart).

oh well, I've been wanting the D750 since it came out. I had to upgrade my LIghtRoom from v4.4 to v6 too.

You wanted a D750, so you just made an excuse to get a new camera didn't you? Hehe. I'm just kidding.

Well hopefully you can get the D600 repaired and have a back up body or sell it get some money back for the D750 purchase. But backup bodies are good to have for situation likes this.

I had my d7000 for a backup for years and never used it. If you are a Pro and shooting paid shoots all the time I recommend a backup body. But otherwise it's just depreciating camera gear sitting around doing nothing. If I get the d600 converted to full spectrum it will have a completely different use. I'm hoping the oil will come again and get a d610 out of it .. who knows, I'll figure it out if the repair is somewhat inexpensive.

Thats what I thought when I had my 105 2.8G...it was just sitting in my bag. But I guess lenses don't depreciate as much as bodies do because I sold it more than what I bought it for.

Lenses aren't upgraded or introduced every 18 months.

True. But I find third party lenses depreciate more than say Nikon or Canon lenses.
