I have a vague recollection that this may have happened with my old style
19mm R, and was told it was "normal" and would not interfere with proper
exposure.  I'm sorry I no longer have this lens to verify my memory.

hi
when i use the program mode P with shutter speed set to 1/30s lens aperture
setto smallest (f22 or f16 depend on lens aperture), i sometime get those
f3.4 or weird value too but that is normal in nature of camera design.
If you set your camera to Manual (M) mode and turn the aperture ring and
when you get the wrong F stop reading according to the setting of your
aperture value on lens, then i guess something is wrong

Subject: [Leica] Help! R8 and 3 Cam Lens Question


Has anyone experienced any problems with their R8's LCD aperture
readouts at settings of F2 or F2.8 on (non rom) 3 cam lenses?

I have one 3 cam lens which produces a LCD reading of F3.4 when the lens
is set at the largest setting of F2.8 (occurs in all R8 modes). All
other stopped down readouts on this lens seem correct. My other 3 cams
lenses when combined with my R8 do not produce such a result?

All advice appreciated.

Regards,
