Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM - Nikon mount

    Has anyone bought the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM - Nikon mount lens?

    The reviews have been incredible from what I've read, however there seems to be a minor bug regarding autofocus, that requires a sigma docking station to fine tune the af.

    Has anyone any experience of this lens, and/or the error detailed above.

    I intend on matching it with a Nikon 7100.

    Just got one last week in a Canon mount, focusing issues would be mostly operator caused. Can be difficult with such a small dof but careful focus procedures can sort most things out
