Olympus 50mm F1.2 Problem

I have been given a very good condition OM 50mm F1.2 to try, I attached it to my OM4ti and started to take photos but there seemed to be something wrong with the camera, the shutter appeared to be sticking and when I took a sequence of photos the shutter got slower and slower until the viewfinder blacked out.
I put the lens onto another OM4 ti body and the same thing happened both bodies had fresh batteries and when I put other OM lenses on there is no problem.
I imagine that the mirror is catching something on the lens, the dealer who has loaned me the lens has closed for the weekend, I have found nothing on google.
All that I can think of is that maybe the lens was modified to fit another camera body but my untrained eye cannot see any difference.
Any ideas!

Regards

Rupert
