I think the firmware is still the same as when the lens came out too. Then you get more option with speed of focus vs accuracy and image stabilization but I've not play with these.
my 1st go with the sigma with some light im pleased with the results but still some work to go to get used to it etc.

Have you heavily cropped these?
Got out for another go with this lens.Did have a few problems with slow focus issues. learning curve I reckon.
My 50mm 1.4 art needed a lot of fiddling to get it right it was front focus by a fair bit at all distance so i got the dock and used it which transform the lens into a great performer.
***My 150-600 didn't need any adjustment. If at all focal lens you cannot see any front or back focus i wouldn't really bother with a dock. ****

Have you changed the focus settings with the dock? You can set the AF speed a lot quicker.
Tbh mine isnt that great on fast focusing.
Mines very fast and surprisingly accurate set to its fastest setting - good enough for the red arrows and Formula 1, with a great keeper rate
And that's on a Canon 6d.
Lucky you, mine is shocking on the d750 no matter what setting i have it on.
Mind you i do compare it to my 70-200 2.8 vr1, Which is awesome, so perhaps i am expecting too much

I have not got the dock - is it worth buying then?

What's that test then ?i have just had a go with the battery test too and im pretty sure mine is back focusing
Line up 5 batteries at an angle and focus on the middle one.What's that test then ?
Line up 5 batteries at an angle and focus on the middle one.
See which ones the sharpest. Should be the middle one.

Many thanks for the link, must get round to checking my lens next weekend.
need to do some of the focus tests myself
Here are a few from Boxing day that I have only just got around to sorting out. The Kingfisher is at 3200 & 2000 ISO respectively so a bit noisy and cropped - although the gulls are at 1250 ISO so noisy...

Why do you need to do focus tests? Those look fine!
