Stop down metering does not work as "advertised" The further you stop down, the more overexposed the photo becomes. I am talking about in Aperture metering mode or in Manual metering mode. The meter lies. You need to compensate the more you stop down. +/- override in A mode, or just ignore the meter in manual mode. Focus and meter wide open, then if you stop down 3 stops, just do the same for the shutter (slow it down) and ignore the fact that the meter tells you that you are grossly underexposed. 



My experience is the same.
Why does this occur on the Canon, my case the 5D, but not with the Olympus E3, and Leica R lenses? 

Any ideas?  Experiences?  Is there a way to "fix" this problem?
