    Hello,
    Last time I used the camera it worked flawlessly and the autofocus would focus in and shoot a photo. Now I will hold in the button to take a photo and it keeps autofocusing over and over and will never take the photo. Can someone help I really love the camera. :(

    I do not have any other lens. Where could I send this lens to get it looked at ? I most likely think its the lens.
