Ok, so it's only my cheap 50mm lens buuut:

It rolled off my desk at work onto the floor with a pretty loud thud. I assumed the worst, looked it over, it did seem ok, when I shook it, no noise.

Then I attached it to the camera.. had a quick look, seemed ok. Turn it on, expecting an error code or something, still looked fine. I looked down the lens, switched it to AF and half pressed the button. The end full off!

Then I tried to take it off, and I discovered the lock has somehow moved so it's stuck on the body!

I know it's cheap, but it's still 80 quid (stupid prices, I got it for 60 :(). Is it dead? How the hell do I get it off my camera body?
