Besides re-seating the lens you may have dirty contacts. Clean them with a clean art gum eraser and carefully blow off any residue so as not to have it drop into the camera body.
Yep, better than sandblasting or high pressure water jets.

Sandblasting worked for me. AF is now more than 2X faster than when it was brand new, plus DoF was huuuuuugely improved.

Thaz understandable. But some of that clutter comes from so many folks doing what you just did. Seems like a "lose-lose" bargain however you slice it :-(
My response was from my own experience. Reseating the lens and cleaning the contacts fixed my problem. Period. I don't need your comments.

Indeed. My fingers get cramps with the Z9. It's like playing an ocarina.
