Q: 1. is a usb cable included? picture does not include cable nor is cable mentioned in the overview in the box description.

Q: 2. Would it work with the Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM lens? is this lens updatable?

A: No, the 17-50mm is not compatible with the dock.

Q: 3. Is any kind of calibration aid (i.e., test chart) needed with this, or does the dock and software do it all?

A: Robert, you don't need a test chart, but I would recommend a ruler or yard stick propped up at an angle to the vertical of about 30-45 degrees with the low point of the stick closest to you and it pointing away from you. Put a rod of some kind in the ground pointing straight up and next to some point in the middle of the yard stick. That will be the point you focus on. Position your camera the distance away you want to check the calibration (the Sigma software gives you 4 distances to calibrate). Take the picture focusing on the vertical rod. Open the image full size and look at the marks on the ruler. If the tick directly next to the rod you set up is in focus, it is fine for that distance. If it is sharper further on or further in, then use the software to adjust the focus a little and try again. Do a search for Sigma Brand Video for a good primer on how to use the software (it does require user input). If you do buy it hook everything up immediately and make sure it works. Mine does not recognize the lens (150-600 contemporary). I've gotten a replacement dock and it is still not working several weeks after getting the lens and dock.
