I didn't get in on this as I suspected that this exact situation was going to happen and just couldn't muster the energy in anticipation of the frustration. I wouldn't base perspectives of Nikon and their customer service on SWFA's poor performance. I've had and still have several Nikons and they have all been great. In the couple of occasions where I've had to deal with their customer service it's also been fantastic. They definitely stand behind their product from my experience and are fairly open in how they deal with folks. I hope you fellas get this worked out, but don't hold Nikon accountable for SWFA's BS.
