I tried it for the first time yesterday and (typically) it does give the correct info to the camera, so does not allow AF. I can't quite work out why this is as I've spoken to someone else who uses the exact same set up and does get AF... now wishing I'd asked for the Sigma!
I would investigate firmware updates for the sigma lens. I don't use this system but I know Sigma have the ability to 'update' lenses.

Worth a go?
