One of my len has stopped working in AF

[just jon]

My lens that came with my Sony a390 just over 1 year ago stopped working in AF but fine in manual mode .
Everytime i put it in AF it makes a grinding sound so i use manual . I have been told its the gears . And need a new lens .

Sounds about right to me. C'est la vie, n'est-ce pas?
