My camera is a Minolta XG9. My lens an MC Rokkor PG 50/1,4.
Well. As the lens has the F 1,4 in the aperture ring near the F/2 (distance like 1/2 aperture), the shutter selected by the camera (and watched in the finder)is intermediate. When I go from F/2 to F/1,4, the shutter speed doesn't go from 1/8 to 1/15. The shutter speed indicate is between 1/8 and 1/15. The camera reaction is the same than if I open to F/1,7 and no to F/1,4
What occur? Thanks.

Is the meter reacting at all to the aperture ring?

Check to see if the meter coupling tab on the body is moving correctly. When you remove the lens, the tab should be resting at the 11:00 position above the lens mount. You should be able to push it to the 1:00 position, and it should spring back to the 11:00 position when released.

Let me know what you find.

I did it. It's OK. I can't understand what's wrong.
