After speaking with Pentax USA and having no luck cleaning the contacts, I'm going to send them the *istD body and the FA 50, FA 100 macro, and the FA 135. Although it seems funny, they still think it might be the lenses even though they work on the MZ-S and the ZX-7. What really confused them was that the aperture wouldn't register AND the AF won't engage. I'll wait a week, however, so I can use the camera over the holidays (since it works with other lenses).
