Thanks Jens. However, what surprises me is that those same lenses gave me underexposure with the D and are giving overexposure with the K10D. More suprising, is that such overexposure can vary a lot, even with the same scene, framing (OK, lets say almost same framing, since those pictures were not shot on a tripod) and camera settings.
Well, I believe I'm going to better test all this tomorrow, with the D, the K10D and a tripod.
