[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 561332, member: 9240"] OK, I went out on the deck to shoot some with the D500 and the 70-200mm f4 today and after about 20 minutes something made me think about a Kenko 2X teleconverter I had sitting in a drawer. I decided to put that on there and, wouldn't you know it, the same thing happened - image review stays on until I hit a button. It happened 4 times over the course of an hour of shooting. No rhyme or reason as to when it would and wouldn't happen, but it happened. This tells me that the 150-600mm is not the problem, at least not specifically. I'd done a lot of shooting with the 70-200mm without the TC and never experienced this, so I'm now thinking that it's the D500 not playing well with 3rd party gear. I plan on calling Nikon and asking about this, but I fully expect (and will be disgusted by) the answer, "Nikon recommends you only use Nikon lenses on your D500". I get that, but it's really not realistic in the real world, and certainly anything but customer friendly. I'll keep you posted on what I find, and I may play with the TC and other lenses as well as I have time. [/QUOTE]
