I found the problem. I looked at the lens and the camera bayonet once
more after posting here. I realised the cam on the lens which couples
the aperture with the camera had bent just slightly inwards. It was hard
to notice, it hadn´t bent too much as you might have quessed from the
fact that it worked OK with other bodies right from the beginning.
Thanks for the help ;)

I just got a A50/1.7 (i know, in a thread a while ago i said i will
not get more fifties...). I don´t know if the problem is in the lens
or the LX, but when i mount the lens to the bayonet the lens aperture
doesn´t stay wide-open, but closes down to the selected aperture ??
The problem disappears after i use the DOF -preview lever once. I can
hear a "click" when i use the DOF -lever and after that everything
works perfectly.
Strange thing is that the lens works perfectly on other bodies (KX and
*istD), and other lenses work perfectly on the LX. The only combo that
creates this phenomenon is LX+A50 ?
It´s not a big problem, but it would still be nice if they worked as
they should... Any ideas ?
Another thing. Does someone want new leather for an LX? I have an
extra set of Aki-Asahi´s cowhide leather set in Navy Blue Lizard
colour. Aki sent me two sets (one kit for practising). It´s free for
anyone who wants it.
Kind regards,
Niko
