Good to hear it. Progress ... :-) I find both the Panasonic L1 and Olympus E-1 to be more accurately calibrated on RAW exposures than the K10D, which is in turn far better than the *ist DS was. Of course, given that with any specific camera or light meter, the metering calibration is only designed to be accurate within about a +/- 0.3EV range, a certain amount of variation is inevitable. And metering calibration is only one facet of the complex dynamic that is "proper exposure" given the range of scene dynamics we look at! Learning proper exposure is always a complicated task.
