Doug, I think it has to do with the specifics of your light. Here, where sun is strong and most of the day very high up, I tend to go -1/3 or even -2/3 EV on my K10D. Since I got the rather bright Katz Eye screen for the camera, it is affecting the metering and so I don't have to dial in my negative compensation.
I should be interested to compare how new metering system of K-7 fares under the promised sun of the promised land ;-).
