Sigma lens Firmware

[Dave46]

Afternoon all,

I have a Sigma 150-600 (c) and understand there is a firmware update to improve the autofocus. (i'm guessing that if the lens was bought recently it won't have the new firmware?) From what I can you need the dock to do the update which is about £30-40 now I know I could buy one do the update and resell the dock but I wondered if anyone have had any experience with getting the update done at a camera shop and how much they'd been charged.

Cheers

Cheers chaps,

I've had a look on sigma's website and found a couple of local shops, London Camera Exchange Lincoln tell me they charge £9.99 to update but they have a Sigma day Friday so are offering free updates so if I can get out of work might drive over.

Rob - I wondered the same . I message Sigma and they told me the only way to find out what firmware it has is to connect it to the dock. which isn't all that helpful. Their website shows the date as 11/3/2016.

Took it to the shop and it did need an update took about 10 minutes and no charge so alls good shall see what it's like next time out
