Just bought a Nikon D610 and I can't get it to autofocus with my Sigma 105mm Macro. Mine is the 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM model which does autofocus fine on my older D5100. Other lenses will autofocus fine on the D610. First thing I did with the D610 was to update to the latest firmware. Can't think of anything else I can try? Anyone know if there's a known issue between this camera and lens combination?
 
I do know, from experience, that the older Sigma lenses needed the firmware updating by Sigma (at a cost) to work on the newer bodies but I would have thought the OS version would work fine on the D610 it works fine on my D750.
 
Thanks for the response. I did some more reading this morning, turns out that Nikon firmware 1.02 for D610 breaks autofocus on a number of Sigma lenses, not just the 105mm macro, see here - https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4187938

The release notes for the 1.02 version didn't contain anything of relevance to me at this point so I downgraded and the 105mm seems to work well now. I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it as they say...
