I have a D600 arriving soon. I also ordered the Sigma 50/1.4 since the 35/1.4 wasn't yet available. I am going to put the 50 on in a very clean environment to ensure no dust gets in. I will not remove the 50 for the first many weeks. But if I find any oil spots then the camera is going back and I am not sticking with Nikon. I am not invested in the system so I have no desire to work through the pains of whether this should be happening or factory cleaning or my own wet cleaning, etc. I had my Sony NEX 5N for 1 1/2 years and a little blower has been all I need to clean the sensor dust I've had and I change lenses all the time on that camera. Nikon is on a short leash for my business. We'll see.

(EDIT: I see that the 24-85 is on backorder and won't be arriving with the camera and Sigma 50. No biggie since I have plans to use it)

The following item(s) are on backorder.
