I thought mine was fast from the beginning.
The latest firmware update improves the AF algorithm of 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM lenses and further enhances AF speed by optimizing HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) drive control.
It is expected to increase autofocus speed by approximately 20%, to a maximum of 50%, during normal shooting as well as when using Speed Priority set through SIGMA Optimization Pro.

I updated all 3 of my 150-600mm Sports lenses last month (personal plus two rentals). I used my personal copy to test AF speed before and after. There is definitely a noticeable increase in AF speed at the longer focal lengths, not so significant at wider settings.

As much as I liked my Tammy 150-600, and Tamron Customer service, this is one of big reasons I changed to Sigma-I'm updated and didn't have to send my lens off. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the "heads up" guys. I just updated my Sport Model. Man, the "Dock" is cool. Just plug it in and it finds the updates for you.
