Kit on Coma

My kit lens (18-55mm) is on coma. It won't autofocus. I sent the kit to Canon Service Center at Makati City yesterday. CSR said the prob is the connector (flex) and it needs replacement. The cost of the flex is only around P200 while the service fee is at whopping P1200.00. He recommended flex replacement without opening the Canon kit lens. I guess this is a common prob of the kit lens, he knows what to say and what needs to be done instantly. If it turns out, the motor of the lens is the culprit and not the flex, am gonna kikhisbut. The kit lens is on coma for about 3 weeks. Sucks.

Also had time to play pool over at MCS yesterday. After a month of no pool action.
