You have to send the lens to Sony for a firmware upgrade??? I can do this directly with my Panasonic gear by mounting the lens on a body and running the update from an SD card. What century is this?

For some reason, you have to send that particular lens back and they actually make a hardware change in the lens.

So, other Sony lenses are user-updatable?

Yes, my other Sony lenses were a very easy firmware upgrade.

About a year ago, there was a fuss about Sony firmware upgrade program on Windows that needs full system access to run. It's unnecessary and a potential security risk, but personally I don't think it's that a big deal.
