Is anyone finding that their k-5 leans towards over exposure?  I often have to 
use -.7 to -1 ev compensation. I find this consistent across old glass. With 
the kit lens and thr 12-24 it seems to do a bit better, but  still overexposes 
at  times. I  generally use matrix metering. Even in well lit scenes in 
daylight. Sometimes  with the same glass it works fine at , but I'm forced to 
chimp constantly to look for overexposure. Also the meter seems to jump around 
on the same scene. I tried some shots between  my k-7 and it was  matching 
settings, so I  can't decide it  my meter is working properly.  There  is 
generally  a 1ev difference  if  I  compare  to live view  with  live view 
giving the correct/better exposure reading.  Any  thoughts  from you guys? I 
bought  this k-5 six months ago and I don't remember making  -.7 the  norm  on 
my k-7. I  usually  only had to  add negative compensation at night on that 
camera....
