I experienced a similar problem with mine. I found that cleaning the contacts every so often normally resolved the problem. A lint free cloth is the best thing to use. Also, switching the camera off, taking the lens off and refitting it had the desired effect. Not terribly convenient, though!!

If there's an aperture ring, also double check it is still set to "A".

I've had the same experience. Partially undoing the lens, then clicking it home positively has fixed the problem.
