The purchase was not entirely successful, there were minor problems in use.

Remember that in the warranty papers you will not find the contacts of the service center and the contacts of the support service of Sigma itself. I bought a Docking Station and it was a partial consolation that through it you can adjust the correction in the lens in a way that is not possible on the device itself. And, it turns out that without a docking station, the lens would be very mediocre - this is for 30 thousand.

Pros

The lens is not bad, if not for Sigma

Cons

1. The lens is partially incompatible with Nikon D810. It depends on the firmware of the lens, but in order to change it, you need to buy another USB docking station, and this is still an expense (2200 + shipping). The incompatibility looks very simple: it does not work in Live View mode. Agree, it's a shame to buy a lens and immediately take it to a service center or pay extra for a dock. 2. The lens cap does not have a lanyard attachment. Get ready to ruin another 300. 3. If you want quality, you can’t do without a docking station or without lens adjustment in the service
