Description

Minolta XD-5 and MD W.Rokkor 35mm 1:2.8

Set to f/8, the MC tab moves the detector on the camera around to the left. The camera adjusts its meter readings by three stops to compensate for the change in aperture that will occur when the shutter is released.

If the lens didn't have the MC tab, the camera wouldn't make any adjustment. In this case you have to meter "stopped down".
