Verbaine-Thanks so much for the pictures. I can't wait to get my Sigma 50. I really enjoyed your website. I wish I had your composition skills

So on the fence about cancelling until issues and supplies are all worked out...But keep imagining this will be a great newborn lens...
Sure hope I'm not getting one of the lenses the OCD folk are tweaking to death and returning. The stories here of lens churn are revolting.

There is only one firmware version to choose from, the one it came with.Dylan777 said:
Yes I have had it through FoCal and a manual Lens Align. The problem is that the AF is unstable. One shot front focus, next shot back focus, third shot is dead on etc. FoCal was unable to determine the AFMA factor. The chart looked like it had been hit by a shot gun. That´s why I did a manual job with my Lens Align setup. It was depressing to see how much focus varied from one shot to the other.
I posted some images a couple of pages back on this thread.
Comment: Sorry; The images are on the other Sigma thread ...

Wow I didn't even think about that. If someone returns a lens after they changed settings with the usb dock I wonder how that works if you do/don't have the dock. Anyone?

It WAS awesome, calibrated and hit perfect. I stayed indoors for a few days test shooting, cuz I was sick. But when I went out nothing hit, absolutely all over the place. I dialed in a +12(!!) to my already +17 in the lens via docking, then it hit again, redid everything and it looked perfect, few more days and it was VERY unstable again! So after four times of that cr@p I sent it to a repair shop. So done with that AF .. Hopefully they can do something with although I doubt they have any spare lenses to swap with, I doubt it's any different and I doubt they have parts to replace with that's any different.

Eldar said:I have signed up at Nikon rumors (felt almost like a criminal) and posted a question there, to check if they have similar experiences. Apparently very few Nikon versions have been delivered, so the only answer I have so far is that there is none. I will follow up though.
Everyone's reaction when they first read this:

Have kept up with the thread but don't recall seeing this note from Sigma referred to:
http://www.sigmaphoto.com/faq/my-lens-is-frontback-focusing-is-there-something-wrong-with-it-what-should-i-do
Sigma claims all they need is the lens, not lens and body, so...Why can't Sigma simply include specific camera profiles in their USB dock software? "Click here for 5D Mk III" etc.
Viggo, I can, unfortunately, imagine the frustration. Question: You mentioned you had been sick. Was it contagious? Could the lens have become sick too? Maybe it just needed a little rest and chicken soup.
