Is the aperture “snappy” when not mounted to the camera? If you move the aperture arm on the lens do the blades open and close easy and quickly? I had sticky blades on a lens once and was giving me over exposure issues by not stopping down quick enough when shooting.
Just random thoughts.

I double-checked. I do have the correct Non-CPU information. I noticed that the lenses do not close after 2.8 while attached to the camera. That is why I am getting the wrong exposure metering.

When not mounted to the camera, the blades open and close as they should. I do not believe it is sticky.
The wind was bad here along with the rain. A little leak in the roof which will need the roofers to come back. There's a bucket in place since the next rain is just around the corner, tomorrow evening I think. Other than that my laptop charger cable died in the 1 second that power went off and came back on.
Some of the favourite waterfront spots for photo ops got badly flooded - Baltimore Inner Harbour, Fells Point and Annapolis. The Annapolis Dock Street area looks particularly bad in photos I see online, I think some of those businesses have extensive damage.
George, glad your power is back, you seem to have the right provisions in place for such events - internet and coffee!

Samy, sorry for the leaking roof. That's the one thing I fear whenever the wind starts to blow. I can't count the number of times I've had to climb up on the roof to repair shingles. I may go with a metal roof next time as I'm getting to old for these repairs!

Thanks Leighton. That looks very steep! I don't climb ladders, leave alone getting on the roof and attempting to fix anything
I can still see the drip stains on the ceiling. The roof was supposed to have some extensive warranty and is only a couple years old. Let's see how much the company argues.

Regina, there's no such limit with the Df. I used a 55 1.2 for many years with the camera and I know i didn't always have the lens
at f/1.2.
So wait, is it the camera? I see in your other post your lenses don't stop more than 2.8?
Thanks Samy. I believe is the lens, not the camera. I do not have any problem with my other lenses.
I wish I could chime in, Regina but despite my lusting over the 1.2 lenses I've only managed to find 2.5 and up for my Df. Only 1.8 lens I had was AIS. I can confirm that my 105mm f/2.5 pre-AI does not seem to have over exposure issues and the exposure does change down to the maximum opening, as long as I do the match on the aperture dial.
The boss informed me a couple years ago that i was banned from roofs and tall ladders.🤣

I may have to do a self imposed ban on myself. When I worked for the power company YEARS ago, I climbed tall structures all the time. Now, I'm not at all comfortable doing so.

Thanks! I will return the lens. Better safe than sorry.

Time for a Df picture. I've been cheating with mirrorless so much lately, it's starting to have more use cases besides "this also takes pictures".
This one was very interesting because at 6am (Z images thread) it was fully open, but by 6pm it was curled up and ready for sleep. Even though I was looking for something other than a flower(New Year res), the force was strong.
Df + AI Micro Nikkor 55mm f/2.8S | F5.6 ISO 800 +1.00EV
