Well, this is the letter, along with my D3,  I just received today from Nikon Service regarding  my $5000 Nikon D3 which was injured during the Inside Passage trip. I had sent the body back to Nikon a month ago in hopes that it was only minor damage.  However, as this note indicates, things were worse that I thought. Wow, getting this note is such a bummer and sure to test my faith in the universe.  I was very much looking forward to having that body for my Atlantic trip.  It is certainly  moments like these that are challenging to living in the Now :-)

Anyone want to donate a D3 or D3s?
