I just heard and read that there seem to be electric functional troubles between the great Sigma lenses and the new Nikon D200 and that it's unclear wether Nikon or Sigma need to fix it. :-/

The conflict occurs when the 'AF-ON' button is pressed on the rear of the camera. It doesn't affect auto-focusing when using the shutter release button.

According to this press release it's Sigma's fault:


We have determined that this problem is caused by a firmware "bug" in our HSM equipped lenses.

We deeply regret any inconvenience this may cause our customers who own D200 cameras and we are committed to correcting this situation. We will start updating the firmware of these lenses free of charge in the near future.
