C100: Sigma updates 18-35 1.8 to auto focus correctly with C100 (and others?)

[AndreeOnline]

Sigma has released a firmware update to allow the popular 18-35mm 1.8 lens to auto focus correctly on any aperture value on a dual pixel AF C100.

Sweet!!!

Can someone please confirm that it's fixed, the only thing that's been holding me back from getting the 18-35 is the DP AF issue.

Also I'm assuming the only way to update the lens is with the Sigma lens dock correct?

Just picked up a dock today to update the firmware on my 18-35! I'll post here after the update to see if it works.

SUCCESS! My Sigma 18-35 now autofocuses in other apertures! :grin:

What about the C300? Is it affected?
