No aspersions cast on your camera, Moose. It takes great pictures.
It's just really interesting that the same lens has the opposite effect on
two cameras. The E-1 is different, the 300D and E-300 are affected
similarly. It must have something to do with the angle of the cone of
light from the lens, where the metering sensors are, how wide their angle
of acceptance, etc.
