I have a EF 28-105 3.5 - 4.5 that I received several years ago for free. It took great pictures when on my Rebel film camera. It still takes great pictures on my 50D however it will not auto focus any more. I can manually focus it and even get the "focus beep". Should I get it repaired or replace it?


My camera doesn't take great pictures.....I do! :rolleyes:

Well, consider that you can get a used 28-135 for the price of getting the AF fixed.. or less. I would just continue to MF with it, or replace it. You might get $50 for it for parts.

Replace it. I'm not even certain you can still get it repaired via canon. If you can its likely not cost effective.

I guess it depends on the cost if repair. I used to own one and liked it.
