I'm going to bring in my zx-7 for testing, although I know the FA 50 works fine on my MZ-S. I have cleaned the contacted, made sure they're on A etc. What's so odd is that three lenses now fail and that AF won't engage. OTOH, I have an FA, A and Sigma lens that work fine, both aperture and AF (when applicable).

I found that my FA 80-320 acted like it was not set to 'A' when I put it on the *istD. After putting it on the ZX-10 it behaved just the same. Pointing to a problem with the lens, not the body. After pressing and hold on the aperture ring right near the lens mount, it starts to read properly. Let go and it goes back to error. Also check for dirty contacts - body and lenses.
