I just wanted to post some anecdotal evidence about weather sealing. I took a D600 + 24-120 f/4 up a mountain in the Swiss Alps to go snow shoeing off-piste. The outside temperature was about 0C. The camera was hanging infront of me on a blackrapid strap. I took a few tumbles and before I put it away, the lens had snow on the front element, the barrel (at the extension points) and the switches and the camera had snow on the viewfinder, the top lcd/buttons and the back buttons. I wiped off as much as I could and then put the camera in my rucksack for an hour or so. The only adverse effect I could notice was a bit of moisture/fogging in the viewfinder which went away as the camera reached room temperature again. I am pretty impressed by both the camera and the lens. I understand that both are supposed to be "weather sealed" (indeed the D600 is supposed to be to the same standard as the D800 according to Nikon) but its never really clear to what extend they can be roughed up.

I got recommended the Tamron in this thread for a safari trip. I wasn't disappointed, it's a great lens. Here are some shots I took with it:  pride by bmc451, on Flickr  just chillin' by bmc451, on Flickr Fungah fucked around with this message at 21:06 on May 14, 2013 |
