David, Art,
I had a similar problem and launched a topic, which prompted a long and good
discussion. It might be worth reading it on
http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00BhFh
To sum it up: exposure errors with manual lenses seem to be a known problem
of Canon cameras. Another point is to make sure that the stopped down exposure
is within the 20D's metering range.
The solution: Get the DMR or live with the Leicanon limitations and
frustrations.
Cheers
Peter
