Well, I don't think anybody is surprised that you will stick with Nikon, must be a kind of religion for you .
Actually the 2 bad of four delivered say absolutely nothing. If that is a statistic value for you to base a judgment on then you missed some lessons at school.
Nikon is fine , I use one too. One has just to avoid tho all the many terrible crap they have produced, like most of their SLR AF primes. Which do not only have a poor optical performance and mechanical quality, but are basically faulty designs, like the 2/35 for example. Nonetheless they are still sold, and that is much worse than any QC probs at the beginning of a production.
When some Leica users had probs recently with front elements coming off nobody
took that as a proof that one cannot trust Leica. Same other probs the M6 and M7 had, light leaks, dust leaks, electronics etc. All that S**T which happened with the Nikon F3 for years, was that a reason to distrust the make in principle ? For CV and Zeiss tho a prob seems to be enuff reason to distrust the make in principle ?
I should not complain about a lack of logic tho, it's not about logic here. People like you simply have to tell us periodically that THEIR choice of brand was and still is and ever will be the best. So what, I think we got enuff tolerance here, even for this kind of statements. If it really helps you.......🙄
