Is there a need for lens firmware update, to support D7100? some blogs refer to potential focusing issues. Thanks.

This lens is specifically designed for the APC sized sensor. Just purchase for your brand of camera! There is no firmware update that I am aware of. I own the D7100 and have no focusing issues w/this lens, but there is a test you can run w/this camera and adjust any focusing issue you might encounter!

Hi David,Not that I'm aware of. My lense, lent to a mate with a 7100, worked no problem to produce some comparative test images for him against a Nikon 70-200 and he has subsequently gone and bought a 50-150 on the basis of that test! The dealers here in Rome (I've spoken to two) have been perfectly happy to use their USB mounts to update lenses for customers for free. I don't know if that is the case in the UK but I would imagine so, so if you were to find you had an issue (which I believe to be an unlikely scenario) I'd suggest taking it to a Sigma dealer and ask him to update it for you but I really don't think you will find it necessary.Happy New Year.Will Hi David,Not that I'm aware of.

I have no problems with it on my D7100. I have the 17-50 2.8 also, and that lens suffers from a weird issue where if you zoom into the image during playback, the pan buttons don't auto-repeat (you must press it yourself several times). That issue doe NOT affect the 50-150, and even if it did I find it a very small issue considering the image quality and price of the lens.

I would suggest getting the D610 instead at this point. All those folks that claimed that there Was no serious problem with the sensor on the D600 now have to explain why Nikon has a new model out in just one year. And it only has one area of improvement- the shutter. The shutter was the suspected culprit. Hmmm...

I don't recommend the D600 until the "improved" version is out there. Nikon need to fix the "dust/oil spot" issue, not just say "clean it". After 30 + years with Nikon, I'm still very disappointing. I'm using my dated D700, which is still a great DSLR. For the price, you should check out the D7100.

I use this lens with my D7000 and it works great. I think it would work just as well with the D7100. The lens mount and connectors, as far as I know, are the same.

Yes. I use it with my D7100. Just keep in mind that unlike Nikkor lenses, this is not crafted the same and this is metal on metal. So the first couple times you are going to have to almost force it on. I thought I was going to break the camera. Took it to Samy's Camera and thats exactly what they did. After a few times it will wear in. Its an Extermely good lens for the price. Mine was about $280. It doesnt seem to auto focus quite as fast as my Nikor lenses so I have to be just a bit more patient but otherwise a great companion to the D7100. You're going to enjoy it.

I just received my D800 a couple weeks ago. Almost all my images are out of focus, even with simple portraits. I haven't contacted Nikon yet because I'm attempting to return the camera.

Did you ever get a lens? I'm making the same decision now. If so, what did you buy? Are you happy with your decision? Is there anything else you would add that would help me make a decision. Thanks!

Hi All, very interested in these postings but still can't get this lens to work with my D70 in M or AF. I too get fEE message displayed and shutter won'r fire, even after locking off at f22 etc. Starting to wonder if its a camera setting or am I missing something?

I use a d3200. I think it should be comparable to d7100. I can use f4 and still get good focus depth. A nice thing with this lens is that it is about as sharp for all apertures. Many lenses drop in sharpness at wide apertures (even just under f8), but not so with this one. I wonderful lens, fantastic for portraits of those that behave more naturally when one keeps some distance (like my kids, and birds). I have not felt the need for VR.

I've had the S95, two,S100s & now I've purchased my second S110. So far I've never had any problem with the dreaded "Lens Error" which seems to plague so many people. My cameras have all died from Unnatural Causes which can be blamed on my own stupidity!

I've read the S95 and S100 had significant lens error defects. That was the main reason I waited for this new version to come out which had supposedly fixed those problems.

I have a 7100 and it's one of my favorite lenses...Im pretty sure it works, you just have to shoot in manual mode..

The D7100 is current version Nikon camera. I would think that it should work just fine.

I received my D800 today and I have the identical issue. Nikon technical support does not have a clue. It was interesting to note that, when I got the DSLR department, I asked specifically for someone familiar with the D800. The individual who took my call replied that he could help. My read on that is that all of the tech support people are all knowing on all of the DSLRs?

My opinion goes against some other comments. I use a Sigma 150-500 and Sigma 70-300 (the newer version) on my D7100, shooting motorsports, where the speeds reached are quite a bit higher than kids playing football, and the focusing speed is very good, especially on the 120-300. I've never lost a shot due to slow focus, even when panning as the cars go by at 150mph+. I've used the 20-700 Sigma, and it's even a bit faster.

Yes this will work with D7100.. But may i know what is your motivation behind the 18-35mm.. i would suggest based off that...
