HELP! 50 f1.8 break/spoil.

[hidden3]

My 50 f1.8 dropped to the ground from around chair level. I tried and thought it was still working. However, when i was having difficulties focusing, i changed to MF and the lens front part came off. What to do? It is still under warranty.







Sorry for the blur pictures.

It's built to be like that mah. $100+ lens so don't expect much.

Get a new one bro. And take very good care of the next one. Personally I feel the f/1.4 isn't going to take much more damage anyway. Just bite the bullet and get a new one. That's life! But don't let this get you down.
