Shouldn't make any difference when a non-electronic interface lens is fitted. The iris actuator should be simply pushing the lens' actuating lever to the limit of its travel allowing the lens to achieve the correct aperture, which it demonstrates it does properly when making exposures based on an external meter reading.

Mike,
That's along the same lines as I've been thinking...

Another possibility (idle speculation, if you will) is that, when measuring with the green button/ael system on a legacy lens, the camera calculates an
f value, rather than using the actuation lever position. This is then
applied during exposure but the camera is now using the position for the actuation lever that it "knows" applies to that f value - which is not the
same as the actual one required, due to the change in iris actuation.
