The Sigma USB Dock for SA-Mount Lensesallows you to connect your Sigma Global Vision lenses to your computer in order to update firmware and adjust focus setting parameters using the Sigma Optimization Pro software.

Update Lens Firmware and Adjust Settings    For Use with Sigma Global Vision Lenses    Compatible with Sigma SA-Mount Lenses

Once a Sigma Art, Contemporary, or Sports line lens is connected, you can use the Sigma Optimization Pro software to configure focus settings and update lens firmware.

For all lines of lenses, there are four categories for prime lenses and 16 categories (four options for focal length, four options for shooting distance) for zoom lenses available. These categories allow you to set certain focusing settings to better suit your personal shooting style.

If using a Sports line lens, additional lens configurations are available: three different AF speed modes to modify how quickly the lens changes focus; the ability to constrain focus distances within a specific range to suit your personal shooting habits; and three Optical Stabilizer modes to suit the manner in which you are shooting.

Q: 3. I'm a little confused about the lens/mount requirements. I have a Nikon D610 camera and am going to purchase the Sigma contemporary 150-600mm lens for my Nikon camera. Which dock do I purchase...the one fpr sigma lenses or another for (Nikon) F-Mount lenses??

A: Chester,For your D610 (or any other Nikon) you will need the USB Dock for Nikon F mount. If you are using Windows 7 Pro make sure the dock and lens communicate properly as soon as you receive it. Mine does not recognize the lens. B&H sent a second USB dock with the same results. I contacted Sigma who recommended I send the lens and dock together in to them to test. I did and they said it tested out fine and the problem must be with my computer (they suspected the antivirus software). I tried it with the antivirus disabled with the same results. I updated all the drivers for the chipset, LAN and USB devices and still got the same results. My GPS, weather station and all other USB devices work fine. I'm keeping the dock so if I have access to another computer at one point I can try to get it working.

Q: 4. I have the lens dock ... loaded the Sigma software ... was able to check for firmware updates for the 3 Sigma lenses I have it works with/35 art/24/105 art/150-600 c. Thing is, unless I missed it, NOT ONE WORD in the instructions, or on the software on the PROCEDURE for fine tuning. Did I miss it? How is it done - step by step, anyone. Or where to find the PROCEDURE for fine tuning the autofocus.

A: The Sigma dock will allow you to update the firmware of a lense and to set auto-focus finetuning for multiple distances and, in the case of zooms, multiple focal lengths. The settings you enter are written to the lens, so it will have to be recalibrated if you use it on a different camera. The dock does not have a way to test the accuracy of your lens' auto-focus. For that, you need to buy something like the SpyderLensCal calibration tool or use a diy setup.

Q: 8. I have the Sigma 150-600mm lens for Nikon. I've taken pictures of the moon before that were tack sharp. Now tonight, I put the lens on, focus locked in on camera, take the shot on a tripod, and self timer, and images are blurry, not in focus at all. Will this dock help?

A: Based on the time and date you posted this question, there was a lot of smoke in the atmosphere due to the forest fires in the west. Chances are that smoke contributed to the blur. I would recommend testing the lens again on a clear night (although the moon did look really cool last night). But also the Sigma Dock will allow you to calibrate the focus with your lens as well as update the lens firmware and change the focus settings.
