Well, count me a believer. So far, anyway. I gotta say I was skeptical about the dock, but I got one, and just upgraded the firmware on my 35. I'll be damned if it didn't seem to substantially tighten up the autofocus. Didnt' get to play with it until night, but I've been shooting f/1.4 in a dimly lit room for the last 15 minutes, and it hasn't missed focus once - center, left or right. I need daylight to assess this properly in low ISO, but I think this dock thing works.
Interesting, the original firmware in my lens was Ver.0.0.10.0229, different than yours, Ben, and I just upgraded to 0.0.14.0230, a higher version than your upgrade. Plug in your lens, you might be able to upgrade again.
So, I am tentatively pretty happy. How silly for Sigma to make a such great lens, and this adjustment tool and then provide so little informational support. A changelog for the firmware versions would be useful. Sigma support staff in NY not knowing about the firmware versions is especially ridiculous. It's left to us folks on the internet forums to muddle around and figure out what is going on.
