Hi! I have a Pentax K50 with SMC-FA 28-80mm. It works fine, until one day, my camera bag was squished in a very crowded train (its a very packed train, not as crowded as the Tokyo morning rush). Every time I turned on my camera the 'Input Focal Length' screen come up and I lost the ability to auto focus. There are other functions that I cant use while using this lens including using Live View Mode, Can't change ISO, heck I can't even open the menu or info. When I tried taking pictures, it works fine. I have to use automatic setting, yet I have to manually focus the lens. I think my problem is very similar to this thread
here.
What could probably go wrong with the lens? Also, how do you clean the contacts on the lens?
Oh also, after several shots (around 10-20 shots) the autofocus somehow work again, but then if you turn off the camera, we are back to square one.
Thank you for your help,
Mik Antonov
