If you ask me it sounds like the lens isn't communicating with the body. Did you try cleaning all the contacts? If it has an aperture ring also try rotating off A and back. Since its not reading the lens type and focal length, I'm guessing its just not talking. I don't know if the electronics go bad in them. I've gotten an 18-55 so wet that my camera wouldn't recognize it once and it dried out and was fine eventually. Also try another lens if you haven't already.
