I have a nikon D50.it's a little old but works amazingly well! Today i went to take some pictures (in automatic focus) and the lens made a weird noise. It was a scratching or screeching noise. And it wouldn't focus. The lens works fine if it is in manual. But I'm worried about the lens. I think one of my friends messed with it while i wasn't looking and broke something?
is there anything inside of the lens that could have broken to make a weird scratching noise? Or could it just be dirt?
I just don't understand how it makes that noise in automatic but it doesn't make a sound in manual.
does anybody know what i should do?
