Hi Chuck,

I think you probably lucked out.  My 5D will over expose a full stop 
using a non-coupled lens like that at f8 and with evaluative 
metering.  So, you needed plus a stop or so to turn the snow white 
instead of gray and the non-coupled lens gave it to you because of a 
metering inaccuracy.

Whatcha think?

Later,
Johnny

PS  The metering inaccuracy goes something like this - f2.8/+1/3 
stop, f4/+1/3 stop, f5.6/+2/3 stop, f8-f11/+1 stop.
