I have a Fujinon W 125mm F/5.6 lens that I recently got from a seller on eBay. It's in great condition, however, the little indicator to show the aperture setting doesn't appear to line up when you have it wide open to f5.6. When you rotate the aperture lever to get to 5.6 you can see the lens close down slightly. You can see the actual lens and where the indicator is on the listing here.
Does this mean that the lens is a little faster than f5.6 and I can expect that the exposure is accurate when the indicator shows 5.6 and other subsequent apertures?
Or does this mean that there is something off and I will not be able to expect accurate exposure settings as indicated?
Lastly, if this means the lens is off or messed up in any way is this repairable?
Are there any tests I can run to evaluate if the exposures are accurate or not (while minimizing burning through a lot of film on the tests?)
