One thing to note about the Dock is it can be useful if you get a Sigma EF Lens to adapt to RF.
This can be a good idea as some are very reasonably priced, for example I see the EF 50mm f/1.4 Art can be had for £409 used in excellent condition (which is a larger but interesting alternative to the slightly more expensive 45/1.2 and its "classic" rendering):
However I have found (with my bought-new back-in-the-day) 50 Art that the RF IBIS doesn't work (at least on my R5ii) if the lens is set to Full Time Manual Focusing in its options, which you need a Dock to change. I should point out that when I found IBIS wasn't working I asked Sigma, and a little later they told me the answer, any connection between the two was not even vaguely obvious.
I bought my EF Dock used as it's a simple does-it-work question rather than a lens where you might want to check it a bit more... Though I notice MPB say it's out of Stock so used availability might be an issue, as people buy them if they have a suitable lens and presumably would either keep them or sell them with their last Sigma EF lens...
