On the average on on center weighted it is bout 1/2 stop darker than my Minolta Auto IVF and on Matrix it is even a little worse than that. I usually shoot Velvia and Astia. Oh I rate the Velvia at 32 and the Astia at 80 on my Minolta, but leave the R8 on DX code. This may be the reason for the difference, but as I have stated here before I use my incident readings on most of my shooting. If I am using the in camera meter I cheat to the over side on the meter readings. Harrison McClary http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto
