If it's still available, has the firmware been updated? Thanks.
Yes, it is still up for grabs. I don't have the USB base, so no changes to the factory settings have been applied. I didn't have AF problems in my use with the lens. My only AF complaints were more on the side of my K30 than the lens. My daughter was too fast for it! lol.
I have a Sigma case for the lens. It's not the original. I had an issue with (2) like cases that I shipped off a Sigma 70mm macro in the 18-35 case. So this case is a tad too small but it works for protection during shipping and storage. I wouldn't use it out and about though most people probably have a different back for carry.
