I recently noticed that my 50mm 1.4 lens focuses only on the central point, no matter how I move it. Is there a way to fix this? It used to work fine, till a few weeks ago. Thanks

That's actually a camera setting. I have a T3i, but I'm sure your camera has a similar setting.

Can you please tell me what to change? My other lens focuses all right.

Pressing that button on the right should bring up the AF Point selection menu, when you can decide which points to use. Set button should select them all / deselect all but centre, arrows should select outer points. Consult your manual.
