The USB dock is a must have if you own a supported lens. Comes with easy to follow instructions,. Took less than 5 minutes to set up. A few minutes later, I had the FW on both of my lenses updated. Allows you to make focus adjustments and AF customizations. Can also in some cases improve compatibility between some lenses and body's. Recommended purchase..
