Okay, so maybe that is the reason that a third party (CPC) 135/2.8 lens I
have always seems to overexpose slide film. It always overexposes even in
auto or program mode. Does this mean that it is stopping down to a larger
than indicated f/stop? or that the f/stops aren't accurate? And can this be
adjusted for in any way other than compensating the camera settings when
this lens is on. That would be just too much of a pain to, say, reset the
asa everytime I put this lense on and off. Maybe I need to look for a Zuiko
135??
