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). Aram
Good Sunday Mornin', to you, Aram!Hmmmm... I'm using the FC adapters with a 30D and find the exposures quite consistent. I use Aperture Priority mode only ... which (along with manual) are the only modes known to work with the adapters. Are you using AP or AE (Auto Exposure) mode?
