A bit like your misleading statement that third party lenses are fine if they are fine-tuned - also not accurate, and especially so on a 600D that has no facility to fine tune any lens, third or otherwise.

You need to have a USB dock to re-set parameters for the lens firmware. For new lenses from either Sigma or Tamron, they can be fine tuned, not to tune those lenses with a camera.

Fair point. The only 3rd party lens I have owned (quite briefly) was a Sigma 17-50 f2.8, which I believe, was not compatible with the dock. I think there is still a lot of these third party lenses that are not compatible with the docks, which renders them unable to be fine tuned on Rebel cameras.

The dock is also an additional expense, and does not address where a lens is just unpredictable - as was the case with my Sigma.
