Just bought an ONA bowery in Cognac Leather. CR Kennedy is doing a 20% off special on ebay at the moment for the ONA bags (amongst others) which saves a fair amount on the retail price. They also do drones like the Mavic. Discount code is PTECH20

DCW are giving free Postage this Weekend so I ordered a Sigma USB Dock that I need for my Sigma C 150-600mm Lens.
And a cheap little Sigma 30mm f/2.8 DN Art Series m4/3 Lens for my Olympus EM-1 as I like primes.
I shoot with Olympus Cameras.. Sometimes Canon and My iPhone SE 2020

Sorry I do not know much about Sigma Lenses so I Googled the SA Mounts, some have been around longer than others.
Though Yes you would think they would make those docks for all the Mounts.
As your Google probably told, SA is just the mount for Sigma cameras. And they do make a USB dock for Sigma lenses with the Sigma mount. Unfortunately everyone only seems to stock the Canon and Nikon mount versions, presumably because they are popular.
I really only want one so I can play, and probably make my lenses worse, as I've checked focusing a couple of times and it seems spot on. I should just contact CR Kennedy as they're the importers and just up the road from me.
The only Member I know that uses a Sigma Camera here is Am and there are a lot of us Canon and Nikon users, so I can understand why.
It won't hurt to ask, maybe they can order you one in from Japan. All the best with that.
B&H carry everything. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...for_sigma.html Or you could slum it with Ebay.
The dock is most useful on the sports lenses. Many, many more adjustments available compared to the contemporary. You should still find it useful though.
I think the dock is a good thing that Sigma have introduced. Previously you'd have to pay someone to fine tune your lens. Know you can pay Sigma less so that you can fine tune your lens.
Yes, I noticed they had it. It actually works out more expensive to get it from the US, which isn't how it's been for a while. According to the first look by CR Kennedy lady, there aren't any in Australia. But she said she'd have a better look and get back to me.
The Sigma USB Dock has identical adjustments on the 150-600 S and C models. ( from Sigma )

Recently picked up a Colormunki Smile unit to calibrate the display on my desktop and laptop, turned out really good, has made a huge difference.
Also ordered a shoulder strap to put on the Sigma 150-600 so I don't end up with numb arms after a couple of hours

Is a numb shoulder better?Also ordered a shoulder strap to put on the Sigma 150-600 so I don't end up with numb arms after a couple of hours
I assume you have a monopod?
Thanks MarkIs a numb shoulder better?
I assume you have a monopod?
I do have a (cheap) monopod, but am saving up for a better one. I generally hand hold the lens, and after a few hours the arms get sore/go numb from carrying it around.
Picked up this shoulder strap and was actually surprised by the quality, considering it was only $29.
Will know more when I take the camera out next, but initial tests show it to be pretty good

CC, Image editing OK.
New coat for my lens arrived via FedEx today
Think it will take a little while for it to settle down and stop shifting about, but looks quite good, and hopefully gives the lens a little protection if I happen to knock it.
