[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 561435, member: 9240"] I have [URL="http://nikonites.com/d500/36435-anyone-else-d500-sigma-150-600mm-sport.html"]another thread out there[/URL] regarding an issue I'm having with my D500 when using the Sigma 150-600mm Sport lens where the image review screen will not turn off and all active camera functions stay on. It's not a problem I can reproduce at will, but it will happen at some point every time I shoot. Until yesterday it never happened with another lens, but when I put a Kenko 2x TC on my Nikon 70-200mm f4 it happened the first shot out, but like the Sigma was an intermittent issue. I bring that up because after shooting about 150 frames I put the camera down as is (with the TC connected) and went about my business for the night. The camera was in the ON position, but nothing was displaying. This morning the battery is dead. I'd mentioned in the 150-600 thread that I'd noticed undue battery drain overnight with the lens attached, but that would be, maybe, a 20-30% drop. I stuck a fresh battery in before shooting yesterday, fired 150 frames in 2 hours, set it down, and now it's unusable. I'm going to play with this some more, but I'm desperate to find out if anyone else has seen this with any 3rd party lenses/optical attachments? I'm using the current Li-ion20 battery, so it's not that. I expect no help from Nikon since they seem to refuse to acknowledge the idea that their bodies should function properly with 3rd party lenses, but I will be contacting them anyway. [/QUOTE]
