A mate of mine has just bought a new Sigma 150-600 Sport, and was very disappointed at the less than sharp results it returned.
He phoned Sigma, and spoke to a very fast talking guy, who tried to 'Blind him with science', which boiled down to the fact that he needed to buy the USB dock in order to correct the problem, and to download the latest firmware.
As you might imagine, having just spent significant sum of money on what he thought would be a ready to use lens, he was not impressed.
However, He 'swallowed the bitter pill', smacked out on the USB dock, and went through the adjustment process, which has resulted in a lens that now delivers the image quality he had expected from the lens when he bought it.
Poor v&v in development, and rushing it to market to compete with the Tamron 150-600, of lack of quality control?
