The overexposure does indeed increase as you stop down as you say. Guessing
I'd say it was a stop from f2-f16. That's why I had the permanent
compensation dialled into the camera - to protect the highlights when
stopped down.

Was I the only person happy with the 5D and Leica lenses? Certainly if the
M8 hadn't been released I'd still be using the 5D and Leica glass.
