I've found I generally don't need exposure comp with the K7D in
ordinary circumstances. However, it does seem to want a plus 1 or so
with a circular polarizer. I also found that when I shot some cars
from a platform lift -- ie with no sky in the shot -- it fooled the
multi-segment meter a bit and a plus 1/2 was better, but not
completely necessary since I was shooting RAW at ISO 200.
MY *istD and K10D both seemed to like about plus 1. My K20D is usually
happy with a plus 1/2 stop in both RAW and jpeg mode. I don't consider
any of these deviations from dead center to be faults. It's more like
matching a given meter to one's shooting style.

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 ;-).

both the *ist D and the K10D. I haven't tried the K20D or the
K7. The
RAWs
aren't any better but they seem to take less "conversion

too.
It seems like the converters I've used start with the camera
settings
as
their baseline, or something.
