Tried it on 2 different cameras, which work perfectly with all other lenses. The gold connectors are clean and not bent or stuck in, so it's not that. Sometimes it will make a good connection and it'll work perfectly, but more often than not it won't.
I also have access to another similar lens which has an autofocus problem. I may be able to use it for spares if that would make it easier to recommend someone! Limerick area preferable, but if I have to travel I will.
