[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 473413, member: 9240"] My 150-500mm tends to live on my D7100, but circumstances this weekend caused me to slip it only my D750 for the first time and, wouldn't you know it, the image stabilization refuses to engage on the body (I get it to engage once out of every 10-20 focus locks). Just to be sure that it wasn't the lens, when I was done shooting I put it on every other Nikon at home (that's four others - D7000, D7100, D610, D800) and it works perfectly. I will be reaching out to Sigma today to see what the deal is. As I posted a couple weeks ago, they've acknowledged the need to upgrade firmware in many of their Nikon compatible lenses as new models come out (the D7200 will not work with the Sigma 70-300mm macro). I am fairly certain my 105mm macro, 15mm fisheye and 24-70mm f2.8 all have worked fine with the D750, but I'll check again. And we all know Nikon's position on these things, "[B][I]We do not recommend using 3rd party lenses on your Nikon camera. We have a variety of lenses...[/I][/B]" Anyone with both of these care to let me know if they're experiencing the same issue? [/QUOTE]
