So since Sigma offers docs in Canon/Nikon mounts, can our Canon/Nikon lenses be tuned with this doc?
Sorry if I'm just completely misunderstanding this.

No, they cannot. The software is only compatible with Sigma hardware. If Nikon or Canon ever put out similar software, I would think the Sigma Dock could be easily used as the interface device for that software though.

Ok...next question...Why then does Sigma offer docs in Canon, Nikon, Sony mounts?

Because they make lenses in all those mounts. Sigma is the worlds only camera manufacturer that makes lenses for other brand cameras.

Hope so. The old Sigma APO line was the "go to" third party lens line. I had 3 of them for my Canon EOS 10S and loved them.

Now I'm confused...I thought Tamron did the same. Is it a subsidiary, or am. I simply mistaken.

Tamron isn't a camera maker.

Tamron does NOT make cameras.

MT, using your crystal balls, can you tell is Sony will catch Nikon next year for the number #2 spot, or do you predict that Nikon will hang onto #2 for a couple more years? :lol: :lol:
Hey, I'm just jeolous, I wish I had crystal balls too!!! :lol:

Be hard to do, Nikon and Canon have been in the lead a long time, even when Minolta was doing pretty well. Sony acquired Minolta and said "Lookee here, we're a Camera Company too!"

I have been hearing great things about the Sigma line of lenses and will definitely consider these as I migrate to the full frame world. Appreciate the prediction and well as the news on another post you made on the HOG on Saturday about the 150-600 and 18-300 mm lenses. Thanks!
