[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 760240, member: 46724"] Is this the new version that's compatible with the dock? All my lenses that came with a dock, (compatible with the dock) both sigma and tamron needed fine tuning. It seems the manufacturers are sending out lenses with the expectation the end user gets it sharp with their respective dock. My Tamron 85 was better off than either the sigma 18-35 or sigma 150-600. Could be only because its a prime and the others are zooms. Fine tuning a zoom takes a considerably longer time to dial in, FWIW. Keep in mind, once tuned with the dock, its best to use it on the body it was tuned with. If another body is used, it might be best to tune and record all sets of numbers for each body and when the lens is swapped between bodies, mount the lens to the dock and change the numbers back to their respective figures for that particular body. Also, adjustments with the dock > in body tuning. In body is a global change and as you mentioned, the lens is sharp right now at far focus but blurry at near. [/QUOTE]
