[stevenjeremiah]

Hi,

My len is unable to do AF, but can MF. Does that mean that my lens is spoilt?

thanks

What's a "len"? No such thing. Do you mean "lens"? Well, if you mean lens, then what lens is it? What camera body did you attach it to? Did you check if your AF selector switch is not set to MF?

Did you check if you have accidentally switch the focus to MF on your camera body?

 

[stevenjeremiah]

checked alr... AF doesnt move. does it mean spoilt?

 

[Rashkae]

It could. Bring it to CSC, test on a different body. Check to make sure your contacts are clean.

The kit lens? Not really - you can get them cheap in the marketplace section

 

[stevenjeremiah]

will it still be able to be sold?

will it still be able to be sold?

The are people buying damaged lenses in BnS at very low prices but not sure about kit lens though

will it still be able to be sold?

Your old one? Maybe for parts.

 

[stevenjeremiah]

parts? sell to who?

Put it up for sale, say that you are selling a faulty lens for parts. Or try PMing Fatigue.
