1) I have the same lens, it has both levers and gives proper exposure..
2) The Oly exposure systems can't work without both levers. One moves
with the aperture ring to tell the camera what f-stop is set. The other
is pushed by the camera to stop down the lens for exposure.

A while ago I bought a "used" (but actually new-in-box) Vivitar S1
18-35 at Henry's here in Toronto, and only today got around to opening
the box and trying to use it. I wasn't getting any sensible exposure
reading on the meter (OM-1 or OM-2n), so I took a close look at the
lens mount. To my surprise, there's only one lever on the lens, the
one to stop it down. The other, which tells the camera the aperture
setting, is entirely missing. There's the usual slot in the mount
where the lever would travel, but no sign of any mechanism, nor is
there anything rattling around loose inside.
Now - is this a design feature of some third-party lenses [if it is, I
don't understand...], or is this one seriously defective? I'm puzzled!
