Thanks. Definitely happened with the 100/2, which I used quite a bit,
but I can't remember whether it happened with others that I had with me
(50/1.4, 21/3.5). Will need to do some more testing. As I was in a warm
climate, I've also cleaned the batteries, just in case the connection
wasn't perfect.

Could be the lens itself that is causing the lockup.  Sounds like body
is trying to stop the lens down, elns won't go.  As you turn mount mount
slightly, it's enough to let body fire.
