Windows 10: Windows won't detect some USB devices

The firmware is the newest, and the updates it has had have nothing to do with the focus on 70D, I think. (SIGMA Optimization Pro: Software Download | SIGMA GLOBAL VISION)

Tbh I don't have an educated opinion about the version choice, as I haven't used it extensively. You're better off just researching their home page. The manual has 200+ pages and is full of reasonable explanations.

I don't use DPP or Capture one (have tried DPP). I use Lightroom CC.

 

Never liked DPP early on so used RawShooter (still works on old CR2 Files but not the 50D's) and have Capture 5 (not Pro) , but I have not tried the latest versions of DPP to see if better than it was years ago. Only had LR briefly as a Trial before it expired and haven't tried it again.

About the Focal purchase... I feel that was just like "a really stupid night out at the pub". The money is gone and that's it. Gotta live on.

Right now my options are a) sell everything and save for a 6Dmk2 or a Nikon or b) sell the Sigma and just enjoy the 100 buck Canon 50 mm stm that I have which focuses portraits like... well... like it's supposed to. Living with the current setup is like having a splinter under your nail right now, honestly.

But anyway, we're getting carried away. I think the WD external disk issue remains but it's "on an ok level" so I think I won't bother actively searching for that solution anymore. If I buy a new external and that has issues then we have a problem.

To end this on a relaxing note:
You know why LR is good?
It's good at managing lots of images, thus the 10 shots you take with the Sigma to get 1 or 2 in focus are more easily manageable.

 

yes getting a little OT but wanted to ask while I could ...thx.
