RE: beautiful sunday — I think I found springtime
My telephoto lens motor broke today....it was making an awful grinding sound and wouldn't take photos - sometimes it would and other times no. Now it's not working at all. Ugh. I hope it's not expensive to repair.
If you saw sprouts today, you'll see flowers tomorrow.....you'll see :)
Ouch! My Canon 70-300 took a hit and made noise, but it never stopped working. Canon was going to charge about $170 to fix it, but I replaced it instead and sold the old one for $100 as-is.
Do you have something like Craigslist in Canad? I've never checked to see if it covers Canada. You can sometimes find a really nice deal on used lenses there. Of course, you have to test it before buying, so you know it works.
Yes, we do. We have Craigslist and Kijiji. My local camera shop, Henry's, is a great resource for me. I am heading over there today to see what they have to say. I hope it's not too serious. I still haven't tried one of my other lenses to see if the problem is the camera or the lens. I think lens, but, I've been wrong before :)
When I was in Córdoba visiting, this other photographer had camera fail. It turned out the lens' internal software was messed up and would actually lock up the camera's software. That was fun to troubleshoot... lol. Good luck with the telephoto! I hope it's an easy fix.
Me too....my camera actually refused to stop working after a bit as well. eeeeee.....
Oh no! Well, of you want to try troubleshooting...
Take off the lens, take out the battery, turn it on and press the shutter button. That will clear the camera memory. Then turn it off, or the battery back in, attach a different lens, and turn it back on.
It's fixed!!! It's fixed!!! Thank you so much for your input. But it wasn't anything serious. It was a rubber band that I put on the lens but unfortunately the rubber was touching the seem where it needed to move!! lol.
