Tamron lens and Minolta SRT

[Bren]

Recently tried a Tamron lens with the Minolta mount adaptor on my SRT101B. Noticed that the aperture lever on the lens is not in contact with the lever on the camera. I have to turn the aperture from 2.8 to about 4 before they engage and i can see a change in the follower pointer movement in my viewfinder. Anybody else encountered this problem?
Will it affect the exposure (ie give me false readings) ?

Ah ha, the aperture ring on the srt could be stiff....bring it down to MIG to see if they cannot do it.......

Also, i only notice this with the Tamron, not so with my MC lens and my Vivitar Series 1.
