The small pin that protrudes from the base of the mount on FD lenses when switched to the "A" setting seems to be on the short end (As visually compared to my other lens). This isn't the first lens to experience this, and causes my meter reading to go completely whacky, rendering the features of my A-1 pretty useless. It seems that it wouldn't be too hard to fix, being at the very base of the mount. Anybody have any experience or advice?

Specifically, the lens is a Canon 200mm f/2.8 bayonet mount.

Thanks.
