Okay, this lens kicked the bucket the other day (mid-shoot). Stopped registering with the camera and since it can't focus, I now have a very cool looking paperweight. At least it's blue in colour... The novelty!
Okay, morbid jokes aside, I'll hopefully find a way to repair it, but this still blows. After all, this is the most expensive lens I currently have (the Canon 24/1.4 L cost more in absolute terms when it was new, but that was over 10 years ago and it's worthless on the second hand market now because they're so plentiful and nobody wants them).
I'd be "tentatively withholding" my recommendation for this lens until I can learn what happened and how the lens can be revived.
