I bought a 50-135 off a forum member in July. It arrived in good and full working condition. Alas, after use on only a few occasions, the motor has packed up, with no warning. It simply wouldn't focus when I attached the lens today. This is no reflection on the seller at all, who will not have k...

Thanks everyone - since the lens's failure to focus this morning, I have had it on and off the camera innumerable times trying to coax life from it. Without success until the last occasion, about an hour after I posted here, when, for no obvious reason, it responded. I'm not sure I quite believe...

This is why I would never buy an SDM lens unless new, with a two year guarantee. I've read a lot of comments to the effect that the motors have to be moved once in a while. Even if you don't use the lens for photography, every week or two you should mount it, move the focus ring and engage the A...

Ive owned my 50-135mm for over four years now and it it regularly gets used and never has any focus issues. My 16-50 which i bought used shoots around 600 images a week and havent had any focus issues with that one either.

Best way to remove out of focus distraction
Did a portrait shoot today and one of the better shots was a really early one, when I was setting up lighting/exposure and not paying enough attention to background - everything is good, except in the bokeh I have a shiny lamppost running down through my subject It is well out of focus but really...

dont want to get client permission to share photo, but here is extract. The proximity of hair etc adds to the complexity a little but my usual fixes dont seem to work well on bokeh like this

A very quick mess with the spot removal and clone stamp tools, no perfect I know but I'm watching motogp qualifying! I think with a little more time it would tidy up perfectly.

Here's mine, not too sure why you're finding this difficult to clone out as it seems quite straightforward? Just used the clone tool in Photoshop, nothing else. Regards David

nicely done David my skills with photoshop arent a patch on this (I was taught to capture a decent picture in the first place, so only have myself to blame on this one), can you share any info of your clone settings Having rarely cloned anything I tend to use 'Normal', 100% opacity, soft edge ...

Best way to remove out of focus distraction
can you share any info of your clone settings I start off at 100% opacity with a brush size appropriate to the area to be cloned. On this one it would have been around 100 to 120 I think. Once the rough cloning is complete I usually reduce the opacity to 45% or thereabouts, reduce the brush size...

k-5 and FA50 f1.4 losing autofocus..
First try cleaning the contacts on lens and body with a soft dry cloth, preferably a microfibre one or a fine cotton one. Failing that try other lenses and see if the problem is with the body or the lens. Trying the lens on another body might also be helpful. In this way you should be able to ...
