That lens is not compatible with the dock, please go to the following link for the list of lenses that are currently compatible. http://www.sigma-global.com/en/lenses/cas/product/usb.html

No, that one's not compatible with the USB dock [still a great lens for the price though]. Sigma lenses compatible with the USB dock will be designated with "Contemporary", "Art" or "Sport" in their names.

The sigma USB dock is only compatible with their new "Global Vision" lenses, so I'm afraid it will not work with your 150-500. If your body can do focus adjustments I recommend looking up "Dot Tune" on Google. Good luck.

I would have to agree with the other answer.The dock only a works with SIGMA Global Vision Lenses. ART, CONTEMPORARY and SPORTS. There is a very small possibility you could use it for a certain lens but the answer is "No".The best thing you could do is send in both your DSLR body and lens and ask them to calibrate it for your body.

It will work , but not AF and you should focusses manually and adjust f manually also.

Yes you can, if your settings are in manual, and the right f stop, aperture , but the most important is the second. ( like 1/60sec. - 1/125 sec) don't get discourage, if doesn't work.....try again.Good Luck.

you likely have to use the manual focus ring on the lens itself. This adaptor doesn't allow for auto-focus capability.

With Sigma look for DG in the lens description to identify FX compatible lenses. In the case of the Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 AF APO DG OS HSM. the letters DG are what you care about and OS (optical stabilized) for long lenses like this one. I use this lens on my D700, D800 and D80 (IR converted) with good results. Go for it. Good price and my experience is that it is a good lens.

Like anything, the need is up to you. I have a dock for my Sigma Art lens, including the one you own. The dock allows you from you home with an Internet connection and computer, to update your lens software, and to correct front and rear focusing issues. Because Sigma is a third party lens company, making lens for several cameras, they don't always get the focusing right for every camera manufacturer. All of my Sigma Art lens (3) needed some correction. By the way, you have purchased the Best APSC (crop sensor) lens in the world! My Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 takes the 'Best' pictures of any lens I own. And, I own both crop sensor and full frame cameras and lens to match both.

I've used it with 18-250 Sigma, 10-24 Tamron and 60 macro Sigma, all in A mount on my a-6000. Don't know if it will work on a-3000, but if it is E mount you should be able to use them with manual focus

can't help you with that. it did not work with my canon eos digital and sigma zoom lenses.

If you have this adapter. It will let you mount any A mount lens to the camera. You will have manual focus only.

I would suggest you check the page that sells this product separately, where there is a widget to check if the lens will work with a given camera. http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-150-500mm-Telephoto-Digital-Cameras/dp/B001542X6E/ Based on the answer I got there, it says it will work.

Yes Dorothy, you can use it WITH an adapter.I did this with and Em-5, and it will focus slowly, same as an EM-5 does with these lenses.The EM-1 will focus it about as fast as it can.Cheers from OZ!

You have to use manual focus with all adapters. Well not all per say but the ones that have electronics for the autofocus cost alot. we are talking 300$

I use it with a Sigma 150-500 if you want to look up the different sizes of the lens. I would think so, that it would work. As far as the adapter, there is a piece of rubber that attaches to bottom of your camera and you attach your tripod piece to this, just like your own camera. So you will have tripod mount and the piece that attaches to vest on bottom of camera side by side. I love the vest.

I do not have a technical answer. My guess is you cannot use it. The contacts on the lens are not compatible with the body. Welcome to hi-tech. You might contact Quantaray for the definitive answer and a possible solution. Good luck.

Try putting your camera in manual mode. AF doesn't work with this adapter, so use it as a manual focus.

There is no AF support for non AF-S lenses with the D3000 or the D5000. Manual focus only
