Well, that was a waste of $59. I ordered the USB dock, but the software tells me that my one Sigma lens (150-500 DG) is not compatible.

So that others may not make the same mistake, this page lists, in a table towards the bottom, the lenses that are currently compatible with the dock:

The beginner clicks the shutter and says "Let's see what I got." ... The experienced photographer thinks "How can I capture what I see?"

Same here. Sigma has been quite clear that the dock only works with their new lenses and has clearly listed those lenses for any one to see.

2 minutes of research would have resolved that te 150-500 is not compatible with the dock.

Well this is as good an excuse as any to go buy one of their new lenses.

And yes, 2 minutes of research (even less actually) would have informed you the dock is only compatible with the new lenses.

Yep, might put their 35mm 1.4 on my 'want list'.
