In a minor butter-fingered rush to shoot a hen-harrier having a go at some chicks in my garden my old faithful nifty-fifty f1.8 hit the deck, sprang apart.
I put it back together again and the AF now seeks wildly (on an EOS40D) before its locks on so it's effectively consigned to manual focus only. Not such a problem for me - I'll leave it as a fallback spare on an older EOS400D.
Two immediate choices. Another f1.8 @ £79 from amazon or the f1.4 @ £299.
Anything else I should consider, am I missing a trick iin not looking outside the Canon stable?
