[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 705149, member: 9240"] Dock doesn't work. Could be a contact issue on your body so try cleaning the contacts on the body to make sure they are mating up correctly. The 150-500mm is a heavy lens and could pull away slightly breaking contact if it's not supported correctly. If it's working on your friend's D610 and not yours then it's likely not the lens firmware, but you never know. If cleaning the contacts doesn't work then I would contact Sigma and see about sending it in for a firmware upgrade. Also you might try checking Live View to see if it focuses there. When there are firmware issues some things work and some things don't, and differences between Live View and thru the viewfinder are very common, as are inconsistencies between bodies. I'm guessing it's the lens firmware and, alas, that big one requires sending in. At least the fix and return shipping are free from Sigma. Bad news is that you're shipping from across the pond. Perhaps they have somewhere in the EU that you can send it? [/QUOTE]
