Hi all,

I wonder is someone could offer the reason why my LR no longer recognises two of my lenses. I have the following;

Nikon 24mm f2.8D
Nikon 16 - 35mm f4 G
Sigma 70 - 300mm f4 DG

I use these lenses on a Nikon D750 body.

I started using LR just a few months ago and up until last weekend LR recognised all three lenses. Sunday I suddenly noticed that it no longer recognised the Sigma. In fact I cannot even manually select the sigma. According to LR is doesn't exist. This morning I used the 16 - 35mm and noticed LR doesn't recognise this one either although it still recognises the 24mm. prime. No updates have been applied in the last week or so!
 
These lenses are all supported by Lightroom:

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4G ED VR
SIGMA 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG MACRO
SIGMA 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG OS

I assume yours are from this list?

Is it that you've changed to shoot JPG not RAW?
 
Hi Paul, no I shoot RAW and have done nothing to change that. They all used to be recognised but then two of the three suddenly not recognised over the weekend. I don't think that I have done anything in camera to change other than micro adjust AF. Can't image that would do it.

Forgot to say ... top two are my lens plus a Nikkor 24mm f2.8D which it still recognises.
 
Solution
I'm delighted it ended up simple!
