Nifty Fifty Repairs

I've had an issue with this lens for a few years now. The autofocus no longer works, after a drop on a carpeted floor. I don't find that to be a problem for some photography, but when you need to snap quickly it's a real pain! So, after attempts by me to fix it, and lots of help from the little people, I decided that the time has come to get a replacement lens. Sort of a Christmas gift to myself. It should arrive today. I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do with it, and I'll be very careful not to drop it anywhere!
You should of got the lads on the job before you replaced it.. great shot..

@julzmaioro Yeah, this was them having a last ditch attempt to fix it yesterday afternoon. No joy. So a new one is the only solution! ;-)

Cool pic. Good luck with the new one; I am (for example) very sentimental about my 28mm, which has been in many places and taken many great pics -- hope your new 50 does the same for you.

I have wanted a nifty fifty for ages, just haven't been able to justify the price for something that is essentially just going to be a toy! Sad that the little people couldn't sort it out for you.

@squamloon Yes, they're great in winter when inspiration is low. Need to get myself into Paris for a few shots though. Hopefully Friday. :-)

Bummer about the lens, but it's great that you're at least replacing it. I love how frustrated that one guy looks. Like *sigh* :)
