sometimes (randomly) with my D70, i feel more so with sigma lense, it will AF lock but not be able to shutter release. both in AF-s and AF-C mode it can happen. dirty contacts? mechanical problem? problem with 3rd party lens? strangely, it will fail to release shutter but if i hold down the shutter release it will eventually fire. a bit weird.
anybody had this AF communication problem before?

I experienced it before too.....pressed again and again...still wouldnt fire.....i tilt the camera from landscape to potrait orientation and back..... IT fires....
I suspect its the orientation sensor in the D70 not sitting in properly that is causing the shutter not to release.....
Try tilting or shaking the D70 the next time it happens......it should work
After you have click the lens in, try turning in the reverse direction but without the release button.

do some cleaning on the hotshoe area, make sure the dirt is removed thoroughly coz sometimes it's very difficult to remove..
if u ever did knock or drop ur cam before.. that could also contribute to the cause as well..
