Those lenses are fine for that model. Your camera needs repair. You have a dirty aperture magnet interface. It is located to the right and below the prism (inside). If you pull the top cover and front trim (release side only), you will see the aperture magnet hiding behind a small piece of plastic trim. The magnet would be easy to clean at that point except for the clear plastic dirt shield around the magnet anvil assy. You can create an opening with a soldering tip or carefully remove it with an x-acto knife. Just be carefull not to leave behind plastic debris or they will damage the shutter. Use a small piece of paper towel or kim wipe dipped in alchohol and tweezers to clean both surfaces. Last, blow out all dirt and debris and rebuild.

That should fix it!
