I've had a Sigma lens lock up on trying to auto-focus on more than one occasion. Usually fixed by a warm boot, but sometimes I had to turn the camera off, take the lens off, put on a different lens, and start over - a problem if I'm out walking with just one lens!

The camera would do everything to seem like it was shooting but the card write LED never lit and even though I could get into the menus when I hit the review key I just got a waiting symbol. I was using a 30MB/s card, current firmware, grip, two batteries and a Sigma lens and shooting pretty solidly in bursts (single shot mode). Only removing the grip and camera battery was I able to remedy the problem. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
