Actually, it looks like Hugin is not compensating for ISO Speed. The
values that it's using are more like:
  ( 2*log($aperture) - log($et) ) / log(2)

I'm not sure if that's a bug in Hugin or intentional.

And I can't find any documentation that shows that EXIFTOOL calculates
EV at all.  Does/can it?

It also appears that Hugin is converting shutter speed values such as
"1.3" to more precise values such as "1 + 1/3" (unless there's some
way to get EXIFTOOL to output more precise values that I've never
figured out).  Do you have any insight here?

But where I'm really confused is that I have a project with different
JPEG files -- all with the same exposure settings (each is the third
shot of a bracketed set and the EXIF info shows each to have: ISO=400,
Aperture=18.0, Shutter Speed=1.3).  But, for some reason, Hugin
calculates different EV's for each:
  Image 1: Eev7.96133843254863
  Image 2: Eev8.22471080582863
  Image 3: Eev8.01714501898585
  Image 4: Eev7.92977368023845
  Image 5: Eev7.92771999334261
  Image 6: Eev7.91554178809828
  Image 7: Eev7.9863593751747
  Image 8: Eev7.94803346282545
  Image 9: Eev7.87540508845236

Even more strange, Hugin calculates the EV's consistently for the 1st
and 2nd shots in the bracketed sets (all the 1st shots get exactly the
same Eev as do all the 2nd shots).  It's just this 3rd set of image
that have this weird variation.

Is there some other weird factor that Hugin is using to calculate EV
that I'm not accounting for?  Or is there a high-precision mode to use
to get data via EXIFTOOL?
