On my 5D the OM lenses overexpose about one stop compared to Canon 
EOS lenses.  But, so far, that's only comparing in the f11-f16 range 
where I've been shooting some test shots of resolution charts.  I 
don't know that will vary with different apertures or not..

Oh yeah, I was shooting in manual mode.  So far I'm not convinced 
that using the OM lenses on the 5D is going to give me enough of an 
improvement in image quality to warrant putting up with their 
disadvantages - even in deliberate shooting conditions, like 
landscapes on a tripod, where I would be more likely to use them.  I 
do know that one of the new micro prism/split image focusing screens 
for the 5D that Brightscreen is releasing later this month will be a 
necessity for me to use manual focus lenses.

Later,
JJ
