[QUOTE="hark, post: 565162, member: 13196"] Jake, back when the SB-28 (Nikon flash) came out, I bought one of the early ones. About a year later, my N70 (35mm film camera) started acting hinky. I'd get rolls of film developed and had unexposed frames in the middle. Somehow the camera was taking its own images without me pressing the shutter. And quite often the flash wasn't even mounted on the camera for any of those rolls of film. When I called Nikon about it, they had me return both the flash and the camera. Apparently there was something going on with the early models of the SB-28 that caused a malfunction in the electronics of the bodies on which they were mounted. Even a local camera store said the early SB-28's had a known issue. Fortunately the flash was still under warranty, and although the camera was one week out of being under warranty, Nikon fixed both without charging me. My point is I am wondering if the compatibility between your Sigma lens and D500 caused some type of electronic malfunction to the lens which is then affecting how it operates no matter which body it is used on. Like I said earlier, whatever electronic issue happened with the SB-28, it caused a malfunction in the N70 even when the flash wasn't mounted. Keep an eye on your 300mm--I think you mentioned having issues with it on your D500, too. [/QUOTE]
