Cheap PLASTIC used in D600 is "shedding" all over the inside!

Could be, static charge can make plastic crap stick like glue, making it hard to clean- off, but eventually, that would stop, as would the amount of debris in the body would diminish with time. That isn't happening, apparently. Anyone with a spectrometer could collect up some of the stuff and analyze it but unless Nikon forgot how to apply in-body blackening paint correctly, (after 80 years) this crap IS plastic. it could be any number of things. you have no idea whether it's plastic or not. sigma had a problem with their shutter mechanisms shedding metal particles in their early slrs, and those were metal. |

Unlikely. It was probably a mis-applied teflon coating that is used on shutters nowadays. sigma said it was metal particles from the shutter, so they redesigned it for the sd14 and later. Or, they didn't clean the filings out of the lens before hand. But plastic is easy to abrade so any deviation from a perfect fitting mechanism can generate plastic dust/pieces. or you're completely wrong. it had nothing to do with any lens. sigma slrs have a 'dust filter' between the lens and the mirror box. what's behind that filter did *not* come from the lens. oh and by the way, the lens mount and lenses are metal. |
