how does a lense shit itself? You are giving me serious lack of confidence to upgrade my camera 
That’s not good!
How long are you guys going to be in Europe for?
We’re away for four weeks total; 5 nights in London, 3 in Paris, 7 in the Netherlands, 6 in Italy then 3 in Dubai on the way home!

Not yet; remember I live in Canberra, where nothing is open after business hours 
If nothing comes up Sunday, this is on the agenda!

The autofocus has stopped working and my eyesight isn’t good enough for me to use the manual :( so I guess to some it isn’t totally useless; just to me it is.
I have had this lens for a good 7 or 8 years now. It was just a stock lens that came with my 400D so I guess I should have probably upgraded it a long time ago but I have mostly photographed sport using a telephoto lens, so this lens has been mostly forgotten in my camera bag!

Just update the eyesight then 
Yep. If you can’t shoot in manual mode then you’re doing it wrong to begin with. Should have saved a few hundred dollars and got a good POS camera.
That being said. A new 18-55 Canon lens is $93 at eGlobal.

So by your logic, she is “doing it all wrong” because of her bad eyesight?
Riiiggghhhhhhhhttttt

Doh! Looks like we’ll miss you by a few weeks. We fly out to Rome on May 21st. I’m sure you’ll have a great time though, even if you don’t get to see me.
If you are having trouble manual focusing try to point at something vertical near the oblect you are focusing on. I have always found that helps.

Exactly, thank you deano!
And I can shoot in manual modes, just not manual focus cause of my eyesight.
I have an EOS 400D, a 7D and an Olympus Tough. I wanted to take the 7D but will settle for the Tough. It still takes great photos anyway.

We’re in Rome from 30th April to the 6th May; Dark said he would put a #nojez sticker on top of the leaning tower of Pisa for you
