Bob, I think it's more a function of the age of the Sigma lens, and not it's relative quality. Nor is it just Sigma. I've owned a Tokina 20-35mm lens which didn't function correctly on a 1v, and I've seen several older Sigma lenses that didn't work on the same camera (28-70 2.8, 500mm, etc). In fact, I doubt Sigma's premium lenses of a particular time period would have the same electronic interface as their consumer lenses of the same period.

The 1v and 1d certainly have problems with > older lenses from Sigma. With which Sigma lenses to the 1v and 1d have problems with? Only the consumer lenses or the "pro-sumer" lenses, too? The reason I am asking is because somebody who buys a 1v/d probably only buys pro(-sumer) lenses and therefore might not experience any problems if these kind of lenses work fine with the 1d/v.
