Ugh!

getting the dreaded Err99 on the 40. This is the kind of thing that can bring you to your knees and beg God for redemption if you are attatched to your camera like i am. or rather throw it out the window. :-)

so at this point i have no idea what is causing the errors to occur. i thought that it maybe the 17-85mm but then i got the error tonight using my 50mm. i cleaned the lens contacts on the camera so i don't think that is the problem. the shutter seems to be operating fine. battery contacts and voltages are in check. memory cards are good.....

another thing i just tried is doing a complete reset of the camera by taking out both the main battery and the clock battery, no lens and no memory card and let the camera sit for ~20 min. let's hope this works. if it doesnt, then i may have to recheck the shutter....

blah!

i am managing to get some shots in between the rampant camera failures. i'll post some when i get my hands on the card reader....
