[LRflex] Leicanon exposure problems

I finally got a focus confirmation adaptor and an eyepiece magnifier for my Rebel XTi and have been quite disappointed with its exposure performance using Leica R lenses. I just conducted a more scientific test and this is what I found. Using the 35-70/4 zoom, it meters dead on with the lens at f4. If I stop down to f-5.6 if is 1/2 stop over exposed. If I stop down to f-8 it is 1 stop over exposed. This is consistent with what I found out yesterday using the 50 when I was noticing some of my shots were over exposed and other were dead on. I am using either manual mode or aperture priority metering mode. Both do the same thing, obviously, since AE mode is just duplicating what the meter says in manual mode. 

I don't remember this problem when I would use the school's original Rebel.

Has anyone seen this?  Is there a solution?  (yeah, DMR or wait for R10).
