Lens Problem for my Rebel Xti...?

Question

I have a a fairly new 50mm 1.4 lens for my Canon Rebel XTi. It worked perfectly fine yesterday, and hasnt been dropped or damaged in anyway, and I always keep it in a case. Well today I went to use it, and the lens wont focus on anything close, only far away objects. I tried manualing focusing it and am having the same problem

when i turn the dial it wont go to all the numbers that are shown for distance, only the larget numbers, hence only focusing far away. Any help would be appreciated!! =)

Answer 1

Did you try to take the lense out and re-attached it?...sometime the contact is not completely in contact, you can clean the contacts with a cotton swab dabbed with isopropyl alcohol.  You can get this at any local drug store.  If the first solution didn't help you.
