D3x in for repair
It was surprisingly hard to send it off, but my Nikon D3x is now at Nikon to have the damaged vertical release repaired. I hope it returns soon, as a I miss it already.
I’m pretty sure the lens mount is OK, but I’ve asked Nikon to check the lens-mount-to-sensor alignment. Zeiss replaced the 21/2.8 Distagon for me, and the out-of-kilter one is back at Zeiss.
