What kind of ching-chong camera/lens are you using that keeps you from overriding autofocus with the focus ring to the point where it gets fucked up?

Shouldn't be buying cheap grade canon or nikon lenses then. Turning the focus ring while focusing will rip the thread and ruin it. It is a known attribute of those lenses.

This problem is not an issue in L-Series or Nikon equivalents. Also as anon mentioned, prime lenses do not have this issue because fixed length.

But the lesson is correct: Never let friends or random people use your camera.

I am guessing he was using a lens like the Canon 50mm 1.8 II that allows you to turn the focus ring when is set to auto focus. If you do that you can destroy the gears of the auto focusing mechanism.

Oh man I just tried that with my shitty Canon 75-300mm III USM (the shitty type USM) and it still fucking works. Can't imagine a shittier lens than the Canon.

I actually did that to my friend's 50mm 1.8 II and it didn't broke. I was used to my nikon and I thought you could override the auto focus too. My friend's face was priceless.

Probably Nikon shit, even Canon's arc form drive disconnected the focus ring from the motor when in AF

Nope. Nikon is making AF lenses since Canon was learning to walk.

If your camera and/or lens breaks from that, the correct thing to do is to toss both and get something decent instead.

None of the modern MFT - APS-C - FF setups should break like that.

You can't even break most of them if you focus or zoom roughly when using things like adapters.

I shoot Nikon myself.

But Canon clearly had better auto focus in the early days of AF.
It's the one thing that put Canon on the map.

Also early Nikon AF used a screw motor drive on the camera body.
Which is much easier to damage by user error than the electronic system Canon used right from the start.

OP's lens was just an old design.
Auto-focus overwrite is a feature pretty much all lenses have today, but that wasn't the case 15 years ago.

I would just get it to a repair shop for a quote.
If they can repair it for under $100 you can consider that, otherwise I'd look for a new lens.
