[QUOTE="kuld33p, post: 1968342, member: 13398"] Enjoy the manual focus and use the DSLR the way it was supposed to be. It would be a great learning experience for you. I had similar problem with my 3 year old 550D with 18-55. I was not able to get the focus on auto while manual worked flawlessly. Any other lense would work fine in my opinion. Usually its due to the mechanical issue because of which the lense gets stuck while focusing on your desired objects. And if the lense moves but get stuck in the middle its most probably due to mis-alignment of the lense which may have got damaged during the usage over the period. Dust is also another reason. And finally the broken cable inside that controls the motor for auto focus can be another cause, if the auto focus is not responding at all. But if the lense in auto focus mode is trying to focus then its not the cable its the mechanical issue. A self or pro service might fix it. If you take my suggestion, I would leave that 18-55 as it is and use it as a manual lense instead. It will be worth the journey with your photography expedition. I discovered a lot about photography after I broke my 18-55 auto focus on purpose while fixing the auto focus issue on my own. [/QUOTE]
