The same happens with my 280/2.8 & R8 combo. However, despite the readout, the R8 does meter and expose properly when the lens is set at 2.8, and the Metz flash with the SCA3501 adapter will function properly. I understand that a ROM upgrade of the lens corrects the readout. Howevr, it's such a beast to pack and ship that I haven't bothered.
