Using a pairing-plus-quadrupole-model interaction Hamiltonian in a variation-after-exact-angular-momentum-projection approach we have calculated {ital g} factors of {sup 158}Er for the low-spin yrast states with {ital I}=2--8. We find that {ital g} factors decrease very slowly with the increase of spin ({ital g}{sub 8}=0.86g{sub 2}) even though shape parameters ({beta},{Delta}{sub {ital n}},{Delta}{sub {ital p}}) change appreciably as a function of angular momentum. This is in contrast to a rapid fall predicted in the cranked Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approach which happens because of a too early ({ital I}{lt}8) strong rotation alignment of neutron {ital i}{sub 13/2} orbitals.
