Why don't you people try to judge a lens without even using it? I'm not talking to anyone particularly. It's just tiring to read those hypothetical posts... Not much of you tried the dock, few have a new Sigma lens but nearly all do know perfectly well why it has to be a bad thing... boring, really. I wished I had a dock from Nikon working as useful as Sigma's!

 

Well, I owned the recently updated Sigma 30 f/1.4 (Art) lens as well as the Sigma dock. The lens is incredibly sharp at f/1.4... when it focuses accurately.

 

I can tell you from first hand experience that the lens and dock behaved exactly the way DPReview described.

 

Nothing hypothetical about my experience or DPReview's detailed review.

 

Useful docking station? Ever tried to use it? It's a major pain.

 

I have since then gotten rid of both lens and docking station. I don't need the stupid docking station when I can use Magic Lantern's dot tune auto calibration... let the camera do all the work on its own.

 

Just say NO to third party lenses that cannot AF reliably.
