Bought Sigma 150-600, should I buy the dock?

[sanj]

Friends.
This is my first non canon lens. I do not have any idea how the dock thing works. But now since I have bought this lens do you Sigma owners recommend me buying the dock? Thx.

What? No advice?

I would say yes. You paid a lot and you need it to focus perfectly. Compared to the cost of the lens the cost of the dock is not significant. Other than that I cannot say something because I do not own Sigma equipment (and I do not intend to).

Definitely yes. You get the latest and greatest firmware for the lens and MFA at 4 focal lengths at least. Plus the cost is minimal compared to the lens.

Thx Tron.

I have a 120-300 sport. I bought it used and it came with the dock. Used the lens, very nice, slow to focus, but only vs my 70-200 II. Used the dock updated, firmware from 1.1 to 1.3, focuses much faster… Was able to set ups some custom settings. I'd say get the dock.

I'd only buy the dock if you plan to use it.
