[QUOTE="skene, post: 221263, member: 13155"] No, it's not the simple fact that they designed their latest lenses with the ability to be adjusted, they should have allowed for prior lenses to follow suit and allow for backwards compatibility to work with their USB docks. I'm sure that it is not that difficult to do, as most of the CPU based lenses should have volatile memory which allows for reflashing of programs. Sigma would have been 10 steps ahead of the competition by doing so. It's not the idea of older technology being upgrade ready, but those older devices to be compatible... However if you would like to go that route, vehicles made in the 60s through the 90s at least are able to utilize newer technology like a USB drive through aftermarket innovations like a cigarette lighter adapter or replacement car stereo. Which in a sense newer parts are backwards compatible. [/QUOTE]
