Funny you should mention that, I was using a 67-II outdoors
to catch the sunset on Wednesday evening before a theater
shoot (not mine :-( a rental) and I found the 105-2.4
would not meter properly -- seems that there is a small
catch in the lens that couples to the body that was sticking -
since I am fairly new to the 67-II I can't tell you what it's
function is - but the problem disappeared later that evening
when I was shooting inside a warm theater... I had a 135mm
F4 Macro with me as well on both occasions and it worked
just fine, indoors and outdoors. Wierd, since the camera
and lenses are less than two weeks old...
