Err 01 w/ Canon R + Zeiss Makro-Planar 2/100 ZE with EF extender

All -

Recently upgraded from 5DII to EOS R, but with my Zeiss Makro-Planar 2/100 manual focus lens I consistently get Err 01 Communication between the devices is faulty. I have tried the following:

- not a cleaning/contact issue

- enabled "Release shutter w/o lens" in customize settings

- tried full manual mode as well as P, A and Tv and Av

- the only way for it not to Err 01 is to cover the pin contacts with scotch tape, but then obviously aperture adjustment doesn't work

Sometimes it seems to work fine w/o the Err 01, but only about 10% of shots.

Any suggestions? Maybe only cover certain pins with tape? Other settings I may have missed?

Love this lens and it worked fine on my 5DII - would hate to have to sell it.

Thanks,

Alan
