D600 dust accumulation time-lapse

AllOtherNamesTaken: it would be great if, as you claim, you can provide figures directly from Nikon's service center employees. Nikon's silence is the main engine behind the dust/oil hysteria (aka DOH :-). Anything which is straight from the source is very welcome. But, unfortunately, from carefully reading all your posts on oil/dust I doubt that you have any extra info. Your conclusions are based on speculation and on your own experience with your own ("That is only one") camera. To be fair you also mentioned 6 of your friends with perfect D600s. I think it is silly to deny that quite a few people are experiencing this problem.

Much more constructive application of your analytical and statistical talents would be an attempt to correlate dust/oil occurrences with the serial numbers to find out what batches are good and which are not and whether Nikon have already solved the problem in production. In the D800 left-AF case it was quite a meaningful activity. To put my skin in the game I am offering my help.
