I bought a lens at the same time I bought my camera from Amazon. It's a Tamaron 70-300mm for long distance shots. I have this huge mountain in front of me all day and I like to get some pictures at the top.
So, this lens does not want to work with my Canon Rebel XT. It'll take one shot and the camera freezes, flashing an error 99 - whch means the lens contacts are not making nice with the camera contacts on the mount.
Well, it's on there. I have to switch it off, turn the lens off the mount ever so slightly and then turn it back on again. Forget about manual focusing - it won't do it. The automatic seems to work okay - but then the error 99 pops up every so often - of course right when the sun is setting and a wonderful shot is there for a second.
I did manage to get some really good shots though.
