[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 819149, member: 48483"] I have encountered the issue with a 3rd party lens working on 1 body but not another. In my case it is the most current version of the Tamron 90mm F-mount. Worked fine with a D7000 and then a D750. I bought a Z5 and FTZ adapter and it won't work. I did my research after the fact and discovered Tamron knows about this problem, it is real. It also requires a trip back to Tamron and upgrading a circuit board in the lens to resolve. New firmware would not fix. I opted to get the Nikon macro Z105mm instead. Also related, I had a Tramron 1.4x autofocus teleconverter that worked perfectly on a pair of D80 bodies, then when I bought my D7000 it no longer would function. Just an error code on the body. I likely have an unfair negative opinion of Tamron based on those 2 things, but my Sigma experiences have been only good. What it really means is you can never fully expect the aftermarket brands to be just as good as OEM, but often they can be. [/QUOTE]
