The death of my Canon 50 mm f 1.8 lens

You would hope that your lens would look like this when not in use;

But unfortunately this (below) is how your 50 mm f 1.8 Canon lens may look like once you take thousands of pictures using it.

One day I heard a weird noise and all of a sudden the middle portion of the lens fell off its main structure.

The lens lasted something around 4 years and I certainly took more than 10 thousand pictures using it.

BTW, the picture below was taken using my new Canon 50mm f1.8 which I hope will generate as many good pictures as its predecessor.
