Ricoh XRP won't fire


I collect cameras, all of which I use. My favorite is a Ricoh XRP, I got it with the standard 50mmf2. I've used it with several lenses in the Rikenon P mt and also some 3rd party lenses in the KAR mt. A few weeks ago I bought a Rikenon P 50mmf1.7. When I tried it the mirrir locks up and the shutter doesn't open. I then put the 2.0 back on and same thing. It works fine with my 80-200 zoom in KAR mt and with either lens mounted on my 2X extender in KAR mount but none of my Rikenon P lenses which are specifically made for this camera. Any ideas? Tom
