Oh wait now I see, this is also not a problem. My
Vivitar 28mm F2.8 reads weird apertures to as did my
old 20-210 AF. On the Zoom it was the fact it was
variable so the printed F was not always the actuall
value, on the 28mm it was a sloppy ring on the lens
but a Sigma 24mm just plain reported all kinds of F
stops about 1/2 higher or lower than printed, not to
mention the 70-300 apo zoom thinks the largest F was
1.2 but it still exposes correctly.
