[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 783944, member: 46724"] It takes time to dial in the Sigma and Tamron lenses using the associated dock but it's worth the extra time it takes. I've got the Tamron 85mm G2 and that was the easiest to dial in because its a prime. Only distances, (close to far) at 85mm to adjust and I think there were 4 or 5 settings to adjust. The Sigma 18-35 and also the Sigma 150-600 took more time because of the extra focal lengths having to be dialed in at different distances, I think there were 20 adjustments to be made. My 150-600 was soft everywhere out of the box but after calibration using the dock, is sharp all over at every distance. I prefer the docks because they're much more customizable, you can get sharp from the short end to the long end at all distances. Typically, if you're soft on the long end, making an adjustment in camera will sharpen up the long end but at the expense of the short end getting more soft. It is time consuming work with the dock but worth it IMO. [/QUOTE]
