Recently acquired a Da* 200, My K5 doesn't believe it exists.
Tried all the usual tricks like cleaning the contacts, resetting firmware etc etc no dice.
I do note however that the aperture blade are currently not all withdrawn, it's like it is set at f3.5~ (if that control is even allowed by the body) either way they are not completely withdrawn. (I confess I'm not sure if thats just a DA* 200 thing?)
I also note the aperture arm that should catch the camera moves freely and stops down smoothly if you operate by hand.
Say for some reason the leaver had not been returned to the wide open position, or was stuck slightly closed, would that confuse the camera enough to just mount it like a M / K / Tak / no lens present, even assuming the lens contacts were indeed intact.
I bought this lens with an SDM failure knowing I'd have to connect it up and disable the SDM. I can't imagine how that will be possible if I can't get the camera to recognise it...
Hopefully yours.

Oh I should have said. I have a few older film bodies. (Mz-7, PZ) I'll see if I can get some response from the aperture on those things later tonight.
But otherwise weird right :S

Failing everything... anyone got a schematic / workshop manual / link to someone who opened one up for the Da* 200?
