-0.7 to -1.0 EV underexposed sounds very much like what I'd expect if
I took a spot reading directly from Caucasian skin, like the palm of
my hand. That's my emergency gray card ... Take a reading off my hand
and add one stop ... and I've been using it for 40 years before
buying a DSLR. ;-)

My recent experience with *istDL shooting portraits and lenses from
EXIF spec. shows images are about 0.7EV underexposed. Shooting in
RAW it is easily corrected with UFraw but I wonder if lenses are to
be blamed. Should I perhaps use center-weighted metering instead of
Spot for these large objects like portraits. Oh, and eyes are
always need to be corrected to expose full magic in them.
