Had mine since 2012 and its been my usual walkabout lens for the mountains. Snow, rain, freezing temps as well as hot weather. Often the camera is on a holster, bouncing about at times.

Never missed a beat yet!
Only problem I have had is I lost the lens cap near the top of Schiehallion, just in case anyone found it.

Check and clean the contacts. It's unusual for everything to just die on a lens like that.
All the gear with no idea

It's not that even the manual focusing ring is not working it just goose round and round

It's supposed to do that and doesn't indicate a fault.
Best regards, John
