I also busted my 50mm 1.8 .. which I eventually replaced..

happy to have invested on a better and durable nifty fifty

If I broke any of my equipment I would cry. I'm still in collage, so I can't afford to replace anything. crying

the darn thing accidentally fell when I was shooting a major festival... and I was like crying crying ... luckily my wife has a 50mm 1.8 II lens so I have to borrow her lens starting that point..

it took months until we decided to invest in new gear and thus I decided on getting a 50mm 1.4 USM ...

the EF 50mm 1.8 II is not really a reliable build quality... plastic and it has a tendency to break apart after long term use.. mine fell and the plastic atachments that move the AF fell apart... brought it to a service but the guys just told me its useless to glue those part back and suggested that its a nice paper weight..

Sorry to hear about your lens. The 1.8 tend to fall apart if you knock it too hard. sweatdrop

If I understand correctly. What you've been doing is called free lensing. I do it often with my 50mm 1.4. You keep your camera on, and take the lens off and tilt it depending on what you're trying to accomplish. It ends up acting like tilt-shift somewhat.

Just make sure to clean your sensor before you take anymore photos after putting the lens back on.

Man, it's been forever since I've been on. Last time I was on I gave my millions of coins away. lol

Can't believe people even still look at my threads on here.
