[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 473427, member: 9240"] The thing is, it's not just OS, it's just [I]something[/I] and only on some lenses, and only with some cameras. With the 70-300mm it was the camera not even recognizing the lens. With this it's the OS. With the D7100 some lenses would lock image review on for a minute after taking a shot. The variety of "glitches" make me wonder what level of deliberateness there is with the issues. My inner demons say there's a room full of engineers trying to figure out what they can do to specific combinations that will render the combination useless, but make it seem like it's not a Nikon problem. The engineer in me says that there's always somewhere the code can go wrong when you introduce new/unexpected data. That it seems to happen more with Sigma than other lens manufacturers (probably the one with the best optics) leads me to believe it's intentional. Thankfully they update for free, and as you move into Art/Contemporary/Sport lenses you can do it yourself with the dock. And then they'll convert them to the new mount when you finally ditch Nikon.
