I own a EOS50E as well and there is no exposure compensation needed with (your
ex- :-) ) Zenitar Fisheye.
The problem with the EOS30 is known (and documented by Canon). The meter doesn't
work correctly with manual stop-down lenses (lenses that do not stop down using
the electronic comunication through the EF-mount)
This is actually a major drawback of this camera (and I don't want to start the
discussion again, but I can't understand why the HELL Canon did it). And that's
one of the reasons I keep my trustable EOS50E.
The point is that I found the meter to be off the same amount at the whole range
of f/stops of the lens, what makes an ISO compensation a manageable
workarround.
One curious thing: the amount of compensation I found is 2,2/3, what is
suspiciously close to the 2.8 maximum aperture of the lens. Can somebody try
another manual stop lens with a different maximum aperture to see if we can
trace a line here?
Regards,
Gerard.
PS:

I used Av and Manual mode.
