It could very well be the glass that I am using. I just tested daylight, well cloudy and it seemed fine and was consistent with live view. I'll have to test more. Never did get a feel for these Pentax meters' though using center weighted and metering on the subject always worked well. Never used spot much other than for isolated subjects and even then found center slightly more useful. I realize that the meters in Pentax cameras aren't superb compared to say Nikon's 1k segment rgb meters. I have found them serviceable. Its probably this glass. After dropping the camera off a tripod onto asphalt and fixing a bent mount ring I'm starting to look for thinking things that are wrong. I'm sure someone can relate. It keeps on snapping though... :)
