Here are two samples. First one taken through the VF and second taken with LV.

Don't mind my dirty sensor btw oops. Anyhow, for both shots, the meter was right in the center.
So to clarify everything:
Through the VF, the metering looks to be correct. 1/250, 1.8, 100 should be ok for this picture.
Through LV. To get the meter to be centered, I have to drop the SS down from 1/250 to 1/10.
Another thing I've noticed when looking at the lens to see if the aperture changes, when in live view, the aperture will open to whatever I have the camera set at but immediately stop all the way down to 22. So if I have it at 1.8 and like a 5 second shutter, it'll open to 1.8 and close back down to 22 for the remainder of the shot.
Whereas when shooting through the VF, it never opens and stays at 22 regardless of my setting. Unless of course I physically set the aperture on the lens.

By any chance is the optical viewfinder image not clear (appears out-of-focus)? Are you still shooting with a K-50? If so, you may be experiencing the mirror controller/aperture controller issue that afflicts the K-30 and K-50 models. If you are still under warranty, repair will be covered. If not, the cost will be about $250 USD.

No it seens normal far as I can tell.

You can also check the lens aperture is working off camera by looking into the lens and stopping down the aperture.
It seems to be working as it should.
