Hi Andrey
Sounds like the aperture pick-up ring in the camera throat has "slipped". If the AX is similar to older Contax cameras, there is a small pinion (gear) that can slip over the teeth on the larger ring .... causing inaccuracy. This would only happen under stressed conditions (the camera .... not the photographer!)
It should show 1.2 in the viewfinder with no lens mounted under the conditions described.
Have you noticed any problems mounting or dismounting a particular lens recently? Maybe even only once? Felt like the lens jammed slightly?
I'd not be confident to fiddle myself and would pay up to have it looked at, to confirm what I suspect and to rectify the problem.
Anyone else had this happen on an AX?
Cheers, Kyocera Kid.
