Sadly the autofocus on my Q06 telephoto has died. As it is (probably) my most used lens on the Q I'd like to replace it. Before I resort to the usual suspects, does anyone have one to sell?

Thanks, Kris.

Oh dear, another dead 06 and another case of it being the most used Q lens. I feel your pain. Having been in the same situation not so long ago, I'm pretty sure you'll have to resort to the usual suspects and keep your fingers crossed that you can find one which isn't just about to fail without warning. FWIW, I managed to get one from Japan that the seller claimed to be new and it certainly looked like it whan it arrived. Its use is now rationed in order to eke out what whatever lifetime is left in the component which will eventually fail.

Good luck!
