It is not clear if they are trying to make the dock compatible with all Sigma lenses or only selected few. Today you can use the USB Dock only with A, C and S series Sigma lenses. If this ends up being true, this would be EPIC! Buy/Sell Feedback

Doesn't really matter as long as people are still buying the 120-300, old or new. I would think Sigma doesn't care about stuff like eating into their own sales, they care more about eating into OEM sales -Tom

Nov 17, 2013 21:13 | #7 watt100 wrote in post #16459043 yes, EPIC! I'm not sure how it would work if a lens doesn't have a USB port but I'm all for lens epicness They'll probably supply a kit for adding a USB port. This is a smart move, my experience with them is they have a problem doing quality control before product leaves the factory, this little move will effectively outsource that function to the consumer. Perfect.

Perfect. There is no need for a USB port, the new lenses don't have one either, the dock uses the contacts on the back of the lens to communicate -Tom
