Does anyone else find that EP-2 tends to underexpose when using "A" mode and a manual focus lens stopped down? Files are fully adjustable when taken in RAW, but seem to require more adjustment than RAW files taken with the same lenses wide open.

Any info or reaction from you intrepid explorers?

I have my exposure compensation set to +1 always and it works best for me at that setting. So, I suppose it does underexpose with my taks.

That explains my recent unsuccessful foray into the shadows of a nature preserve. I need to compensate in future. Thanks for that. I thought it was me.
 
I noticed that on my E-P2 as well. I am using the 1.1 firmware. I realized that if you use metering modes other than ESP, you get accurate metering.
