[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 529095, member: 9240"] I was about to give you a link to a discussion on panoramas that Nasim Mansurov did where he speaks to a potential issue with the Sigma 24-105mm Art Series where its vibration reduction does not turn off fully, making it difficult/impossible to use on a tripod. It was in a "rant" section that was in [URL="https://photographylife.com/panorama-photography-tips#more-122401"]this post[/URL] yesterday, but not today. It's a 5 day old post and I expect Sigma has addressed whatever it was he was experiencing with him - whether it's a known issue with the camera he is using and offered a firmware upgrade (via the dock, which is [I]really [/I]nice), or the promise of one. Nikon and Sigma have had a rocky relationship and I tend to have to send all of mine back to Sigma for firmware upgrades each time I get a new body (it's free except for my shipping to them provided I'm the original owner). So with that said, if you're thinking about getting one I would contact Sigma, tell them you saw "a post somewhere that speaks about the OS not turning off all the way on a Nikon camera" and see what they say. And with that said, I got the 24-120mm with my D750 and it has since spent very little time unattached to something, whether my D750, D610 or D7100. [/QUOTE]
