When some of you have nothing better to do could you just point yer 20D
at a blank wall, set the thing on aperture priority and shoot a series
of snaps in 1 stop increments from wide open down to f/16 or so with a
lens that stops down when you turn the aperture ring.

I'm getting a consistent arc, with the 5.6 & 8 shots being the most
exposed and the 2.8 & 16 shots being darkest.


Bob. Buy a hand held incident light meter, use the camera on manual, and stop worrying about it.


Alternatively, have you tried to see if the camera works okay with a Canon lens? Maybe the 20D auto-exposure circuit is inherently flaky with non-Canon optics?
