It was an overcast day and light rain. Both shots were taken one after the other. The autofocus sensor that was highlighted was the same (ZoomBrowserEx data). So, not bright sun, uniform unchanging light, ... I post processed both shots identically in order to show the difference, not to avoid blowing out highlights, which I could have done. The question is more about why the exposure varies, which I have seen in a lot of my shots and am just wondering if others experience that And can I attribute the 1 stop variation to not covering the eye piece Or if there is an issue with the 5D? I'm not sure I know exactly how the evaluative metering works, Canon is not very specific on how it actually works. The problem seems to be the worst with higher F stops. I thought the metering was done prior to taking the picture, so I'm not sure why a higher F stop would matter, as the metering is done wide open.
