My D works fine with the DA 16-45 and the DA 50-200.
I upgraded to the latest PPB and PPL when i came out. I know it read the 16-45,
but i'll
have to look to
see about the 50-200. I think it didi but i forget.This is PC version. I cannot
get the
Mac upgrade to work
properly so i just use the first version.
