Rick - Don't know Macs but my experience has been that housings are far more likely to fail than the hard drive in them. You are probably planning to do this anyhow - but it if you are replacing the drive it would be worthwhile to check the hard drive with another housing. Mark On 7/2/2017

How old is the lens? There was a time when Sigma had a terrible reputation for making really shoddy lenses. The old joke that Sigma = Significant Malfunctions. I think it was with the advent of the EX series and later that they redeemed themselves. On 6/7/2017 9:38 AM, Collin Brenden wrote:
