Help!!

My 35 mm 1.8 prime will not focus or let me take a photo. My kit lens works fine do I'm assuming it is just my lens. I have not dropped it and it worked gone last night. Any ideas why it's not working? It's only a few months old and I bought it new.

I'm planning on calling Nikon but wanted to see if anyone else has has this problem.

Thanks!

Sounds like calling Nikon is the move...

If you put it in manual focus are you able to focus and shoot?

No, even if I focus in manual it won't work. I called and she said basically I already troubleshot it by testing with my kit lens and to send it in to get repaired. I'm so sad!!

Edit---
I just tried manual focus again and it did let me take a photo. Guess I wasn't focused enough the first time.

At least I have my kit lens. I might go nuts while it's getting repaired!

That gives you an excuse to shoot at 18mm! Fun even on a kit lens

Now the question is should I wait and send it to Nikon after march 27th after my trip to the dallas arboretum and shoot in manual, OR send it off Monday and hope I get it back in time? I was looking forward to some nice bokeh attempts at the arboretum.

I'd say send it back now.

I just bought it--- it's still under warranty and it's working now. I do plan to send it back but want it for a trip I was looking forward to.

Oh, I posted a MF ? thread in the beginners thread and I posted where it started working again. Sorry I didn't update here.
