Nifty Fifty is back!

I reported back in December that I had started my different view project but that my Canon 50mm 1.8 had started to stick and lock, well things went from bad to worse.....its completely dead now.

I brought it into town about two weeks ago and went to take a photo and noticed it wasn't focusing correctly, on closer inspection the focusing ring had come apart from the rest of the lens, further inspection showed that the data cable connection that connected the motor in the lens to the contact points was damaged.

I've since bought myself a new nifty fifty from digitalrev on ebay and all is well once more...it only cost me 60e :)
