Sigma AF 30mm f/2.8 EX DN is broken - help needed!!
#8
There's no 300/2.8 Sports or Art. There's a stone-age (introduced 2005) APO 300mm F2.8 EX DG HSM - but that's incompatible to the dock.

So, how do these complaining people get new firmware to this lens? Do you have a single link referring to at least one solid complaint with sample pictures? To me it just appears that you're hunting for any complaint concerning Sigma lenses. And why only D850? And not also D500, D4 or other Nikons? I don't believe a single word from this.

Back to topic. Firmware can't be the problem of a lens which was working yesterday and stutters around this day. I also suggest to send it in to Sigma. I also cannot find a lens named "AF 30mm f/2.8 EX DN" on the Sigma website. There's a 30mm F2.8 DN Art for Sony - and that costs around 200 francs/€...

Just to put things in perspective: The APO 300/2.8 still sells around 2900.-, the 500/4 Sports (=new generation) is 6000.- and the 120-300/2.8 Sports is 3200.-

A nikon 300/2.8 today costs you 5900.-

All these owners who saved 3000.- by getting a cheaper 3rd party lens are really wondering that the outdated lens is not working too well with a 45 MP camera? What a surprise... but thanks to you all Sigma buyers are warned now, it's just a crappy brand and all testers are bought and brainwashed... Dodgy
