I recently came into possession of a Zuiko 35mm/f2.8
Shift lens, and my camera (an OM-4T in this case)
doesn't seem to meter correctly with it.
For comparison, I metered a uniformly-lit surface using
the normal 35/2.8 wide open and got a reading of 1/125
(which seems reasonable). When I mount the 35 Shift and
meter the same surface with the lens wide open I get a
reading of about 1/4 (which seems quite unreasonable).
It is almost as though the camera thought it had an
automatic lens stopped down 5 stops. What could cause
this behavior? Is this some sort of linkage problem?
And, yes, I know this lens has a manual aperture and I
have to do stopped-down metering. That's why I noted
above that both lenses were wide-opn for the test.
Any good pointers will be appreciated.
