Hi,
Can someone suggest a camera body that will give AF-compatibility with my Sigma EX (for Nikon AF-D) F2.8 DG Macro lens?
I've tried a D5500, but the AF doesn't work and (I'm not sure if this is normal or not) the shutter mechanism seems pretty vicious, i.e. it emits a loud clunk (about the loudest shutter I've heard) and makes the camera jump unless you brace it against something (I believe I'd need a pretty high-quality tripod to tame its shutter backlash - my current one certainly doesn't).
The camera is for tripod-based product photos, typically in a light cube. I'm open-minded regarding secondhand cameras. Movie capability is essential (the 5500 seems to do this well).
Thanks in advance.
