Quote:Strange report. He says the adapter has an USB connector for it's own firmware. To me, it would be logical that if I buy such an adapter, I can use it instead of the dedicated dock from Sigma to update my lenses as well, but he does not tell a thing about he DID update them. At the time he put his report online, there were couple of updates available for his 24/1.4 and 150-600 Sports as well.
 

The Sigma dock comes in five flavours, AFAIK, including Sony A-mount, but not Sony E-mount; thus, the MC-11, which has a Sony E-mount, can't be updated by a dock in any flavour. In a way, it makes sense: Sigma doesn't have native E-mount lenses that support firmware upgrade, so the USB dock for E-mount would only exist to update the MC-11.
