Since my last post, I've fixed the Zeiss Distagon 2.8/25mm T* C/Y that I found at a thrift store for $2.99 (It just must have been MY DAY). I purchased an RTS II body that's been serviced and under guarantee. When I set the aperture ring on the outside, it does not correctly correspond to the setting which appears in the viewfinder. The readings are one stop off. Would this be an adjustment? I just had the lens fixed to correct the blades from not opening or closing completely. The tech also fixed how the lens did not allow the mirror to return after exposure.
