30mm lens not always recognized on NX3000

Hello,

My NX3000 works flawlessly with the included kit 16-50 PZ lens, but with my older 30mm f/2 it sometimes give me a blank aperture on the display (shows "F--" on screen) and cannot use focus or anything that have to do with the lens.

I thought the contacts on the lens might be the culprit, but the 30mm still works flawlessly with my older camera, the NX1000.

Same happens with my 20-50 lens that came with the NX1000.....

To summerize, all of my lenses work flawlessly with my older camera NX1000, but the older lenses are often not recognized on my newer camera the NX3000.

Anyone got an idea what the issue might be?

Thank you for your time

Samsung NX3000

Not a lot of confidence that this would be it but, maybe it is the contacts on the NX3000, rather than the lens(es).
