It's a Tamron.

I have two of the exact same lens...it's a 28-70mm f/2.8.

I put the second one on and all is well.

The first one still won't work.

What brand of lens?
 
I had a Sigma lens that worked fine
for over a year with my 10d and
then decided not to talk with the camera
anymore. Kept giving the error 99.
 
I gave it to a friend.
 
He sent it to Sigma and for about $10.00
they did something so it would talk to his
Canon Rebel.

Subject: good lens gone bad?

I have a dedicated 5D and lens in my studio. It never leaves there and isn't used by anyone else.
Today when I used the camera for a session it was acting all funky, had a heck of a time making focus and was kind of grinding around as if I were manually focusing with the lens set in autofocus mode. I removed the lens, put it on my 5DM2, it behaved the same way and the camera gave me an error saying the contacts needed cleaning. I cleaned them but the problem persists. Can a lens or lens contacts go bad? It hasn't been dropped or used outside the studio ever. Actually, it's never off the studio body. Any ideas what in the world is going on here? Lea
