Ahhh, I'm doing my first ever event tonight. It's a birthday party at a club bar. I'd just finished packing up my lenses and camera when the dog jumped on it and knocked it all to the floor :(!!! I thought it would be alright but my 50mm 1.4 was on the camera body at the time and now its not working!!! When I turn the focus ring it moves but it won't change from being set at infinity and the focus doesn't work at all :(!!! Meh. I can use my 18-55 kit lens tonight but I'm pretty damn upset about this :(. Is there anything you suggest I try or does it have to be taken in to be fixed :(?
 
Found this comment

"If the AF staggers or stops working, just make sure to twist the lens clockwise all the way "in" – hard – then it will be fine. I used to have this problem but no longer."
 
That'll be the brute force fix. :)

Of course, any such attempt to fix is at your own risk.
 
Is that comment directed at the 1.4 prime? As the barrel doesn't actually rotate, just the focus ring?
 
Holy crap I would hate to have to attempt that one :gag:
