Serious question. What does it do without the lens cap on?

Exactly the same mate. Doesn't focus regardless of lens cap on or off.

I didn't watch it with sound first time round sounds like the motor isn't quite catching a cog somewhere but who knows. I take it any other lenses work? Might be worth looking for another unfortunately, the cost of a fix is likely to be more than a new one!

Fair does pal, nice one!

Take it the lens won't be worth anything now then?

I'm not saying that's what it is but that would be my guess. Is it a sigma 70-300? Looking online you can get them brand spankers for about £100 so a second hand faulty one probably isn't worth a lot unfortunately, could always try it on eBay as spares as someone might want to try and fix it.

Have you got any camera shops local that can have a proper look?

Cheers mate. Don't think so, no.

Might just stick it on eBay and hope for £20 or something!
