Sorry, had to catch your attention somehow. 🙂
I've loved Zeiss lenses for a couple decades--have been a fotog since only 2000--and have had many different versions.. Bought an a7R V weeks ago, attached the Batis 18/2.8, added an 85/2.8 plus a Sony 24-70/2.8 GM II and a Tamrom 50-300 4.5-6.3, and thought I was ready.. But then ordered Batises in 25/2 and 40/2 (arriving today), and then ordered a 135/2.8 to arrive ...tomorrow, Thursday? (How can B&H/FedEx do that--Wed. morn. to Thurs. afternoon--for the few-dollars addon B&H gets for NEXT-day shipping?) Total gear weight without the Tamron will be just 6.8 pounds/3.7kg and 8.4 pounds/3.8kg. with it.. All this (and other required stuff) fits in my ThinkTank Airport Roller, so I won't have to carry it, which I cannot physically do.
Off to two and two-half days in the Palouse Monday the 2nd; we'll see how all those Bs hold up.
I doubt anyone on this forum will know the answer to your question. You'd probably be best served by contacting a repair shop. Typically when a lens is suffering what appears to be intermittent failures, it has to do with a ribbon cable such as that in your diagram. However, it's always best to start simple: Have you cleaned all of the contacts on both the lens and the camera? I'd start there and see it there is any improvement.
Make sure you have updated your lens to the latest firmware. Also check your switches on the side of your lens to make sure they are in the appropriate settings before taking your lens apart.
