Nikon problem

I have a Df.
When I mount my Micro Nikkor Auto 2.8 D, The lowest aperture I can get in the viewfinder is 5.6, and it says I am getting f64 at the other end. My other lenses work fine. Is the information passed through the electrical contacts? Could it be that they are just dirty?

Help please.

Do you have the lens focus at the closest distance? Do you have the lens focus at infinity? The lens should be at infinity for you to have f/2.8.

Don’t feel bad - done the same couple of times - called being human.
