I tried with a strip of Al foil, the aperture value went from "--" to 2.4 - 22 range, worried pieces of foil might fall into the body though. So I just short the data pin to the mount/flange and I'm good ? Thanks

I just tried 100% acetone, didn't work, Would the NaOH affect the metal? next resort is some aircraft paint stripper.

That's what I was thinking. Would it be better to paint strip it rather than to sand it?

I'm beginning to think this is a porst peculiarity. Overexposed in the porst.

It changes the shutter speed but aperture value remains "--". With my k lens 50/1.4 when I set the value on the aperture ring to 22 and press the shutter button I see the blades actuate. On the porst no such actuations. I shine a pen-torch into the lens to see the actuations. Thanks. ---------- Post added 05-05-18 at 07:23 PM ----------
Not on the porst.

You're right, at 22 it dilates, at 1.2 the tab moves when manipulated but no changes in the aperture.

When the lens is off the body the aperture ring works. When I manually move the metal tab when set at 22 the blades work. I have a pentax k 50/1.4 the ring works while on the camera. dfa 28-105mm works. Rokinon 85/1.4 works. PPF how would you know if it is the lens itself is faulty? Thanks guys

I tried enabling and disabling aperture in the menu pg 26. Tried covering up the contacts on the body. What can I do to control the aperture? Even the ring doesn't change the values (always at 1.2). Any suggestions are welcome.
