Re: NX11 with 50-200mm lens - doesn't work... :(

After a bit more poking around on the web I'm wondering whether the problem could be the lens mount? The 18-55mm kit lens has a plastic mount as against the 50-200mm's metal mount. Could this be the source of the problem - contact not being made correctly? If so then I suppose it's the camera body that might be the problem, but I have no way of tesing the lens on another NX body.

In the firmware menu with the 18-55 attached I can choose to update the lens firmware with the appropriare lens.bin file but with the 50-200 attached that doesn't work. Even manual focus doesn't work so I'm guessing that the lens isn't getting power. iFn doesn't work either...
