So, if i get this correctly, the DX coding on a film can also contain
information about the exposure lattitude of the film. If so then how
does the metering take this into account?

I have had rolls of print film recently in my E#S/28mm in which several
prints were slightly overexposed (1/2 stop), enough to ruin the colour,
"flattening" the print which i hate. I have never had this using my
OM1/28mm but maybe this is just the centre weighted metering v.
averaged. With either camera slide film is fine (and much prefered!)
Any more info on this article? or similar articles?
