Dear All,
I'm hoping that you can help me? I have an EOS 5 and 33, and a load of manual lenses - Contax, Oly, Takumar, Zeiss ZF etc. Some of my shots are a little out on exposure and I'm told that there is a metering problem on these bodies - and its non linear, so I cannot always apply the same compensation.
I've heard that the EOS 3 might be OK - does anybody have any experience with this body? Do you know which Canon bodies will be OK? I need to sort this out as its driving me crazy!!!
Many Thanks
Julian |

The Canon EF/M is not bad at all.
It meters different from my digital bodies, constantly, but the results are fine.
Well, the EF/M is a manual cam with an EOS mount.

Hi,
Just my experience on my digital EOS 40D, when I use the EF-S focusing screen instead of the standard one, light metering is much more even (yet not perfect though), especially with AF confirm adapters.
I have not been able to figure out if it's a linear profile, but for me it suffices to dial in -2/3 to -1 exposure compensation to prevent blown highlights and then post process the RAWs in my editor.
It also quite depends on the adapter-lens combination I guess, I am quite interested to know myself what difference it makes when one uses e.g. an f/1.4 chipped adapter vs. a f/2.8 one.
