Interested in using both my 17mm Rectilinear wide Minolta Rokkor and also a 400/800mm Apo Rokkor on my new D600.  Is this possible?  Of course i would need to be able to focus to infinity. Replies...

I was just about ready to purchase the two lens D600 package at costco, and suffer payments for a long time. Now i am very hesitant to spend $2700 on a product with "big"? problems.
