Well i have only done a few prelimn tests, but it looks thats the case. When i
first did
the side by
side check, my camera was different by about a stop. I was ready to box it up
for Pentax
to look at,
when i noticed Erin's camera was on spot meter.(I told her to just play and
experiment,
so she
obviously is.)
After switching mine to spot, checking, and then her's to matrix,both were the
same.Focus
seems
alright.Test will be to see a print. After this 3 days show i';ll do
something,but should
be ok.
The 16-45 seems ok to, which is good as i only bought it last week.:-)
