[QUOTE="hark, post: 679594, member: 13196"] I don't have an answer for you, but when looking online to see what people have asked, I came across a compatibility discussion. It says Tamron and Tokina pay licensing fees to Nikon while Sigma doesn't. Supposedly that's why Sigma owners keep running into problems with their lenses not being compatible. And that's why Sigma can't freely allow the firmware to be obtained online. It has to come through their dock. I always preferred Sigma over the other 3rd party lenses, but if this is the case, it's making me rethink my opinion on Sigma.
