I've had the nifty 50 for years, and used it often without problems on 300D, 20D, and 50D.

Just got a 6D, and frequently get errors (bad contacts). Cleaned contacts, no joy.

50/1.8 still works fine on old cameras. All other lenses work fine on 6D.

Any ideas?

(My wife thinks I am making an excuse for the new Sigma 50. Maybe. But I really am annoyed the old 50 is having problems..)

That combination doesn't work for you. You need the Sigma lens to solve all your problems.



That's what you wanted to hear right?

Just wondering, is this the metal mount 50/1.8, or all-plastic Mk2?

Ouch, this is strange. At first I thought this would be about the original one with metal mount, as it is quite old (and feared for myself, I also have one).

Edit: Maybe the plastic mount is worn and there is a tiny gap or insufficient pressure between the contacts on 6D for some reason?
