Sigma 120-400mm with Nikon F4 & F5

[illaroo]

Hi,
I bought a Sigma 120-400mm DG APO HSM Lens to use with my D200 and D60.Will this work on the F4 and F5 with the full functions of the Lens Optical Stabilizer.
Thanks

I would assume that it would work fine, the lens only relies on power form the camera battery to drive the OS function and as far as I know the F4 / F5 share the same electrical contacts in the body as the later digital bodies.

I think the optical stabiliser won't work on the F4, whereas it should work on the F5.
(but I really can't remember exactly)

I was once looking to get myself either an F4 or F5.. or maybe an F100, and I read that the F4 doesn't utilise all of the latest lens features properly.. so I started looking for F100's and F5's.

If you have the lens, and you have the cameras

Bolt them together and then you can tell us if it works ??

Thanks everyone.I'll try it on the F5 when I take delivery of it in a couple of Day's time.Just thought I'd ask before I got the Camera.
