[QUOTE="alfaholic, post: 355791, member: 13066"] I am one of those happy users, do not get me wrong, this lens works brilliantly, it is sharp and well built, and when it comes to taking good quality photos everything works as it should. Just, I read about this on some forum searching for something else, then checked my D7100 and 17-50, and yes, I too have the same "problem". I will not tell you to buy because you need to decide for your self, but for me this lens is very good performer. As for scrolling and display timers, I could not care less. Yes, I am a perfectionist and it bothers me at some degree, but really this does not affect my photography and I can use my gear normally. I hope Sigma will offer some solution soon, but I doubt this will happen. It is not the problem with this issue, but what bothers me is the possibility for something like this to happen in the future. I read so much before upgrade or any other purchase, but I can not find all the problems just by reading on the internet, so this makes me feel uncomfortable using Nikon with 3rd party lenses, because no one can guarantee that everything will work as it should. My Nikkor 35mm f1.8 squeaks when focusing since first day, and no one talks about it. The same lens is very problematic in low and tungsten light, most of the time back-focusing, and that is Nikon's product. [/QUOTE]
