Metering ranges in EV according to the user manual specifications
------------------------------------------------------------------
Canon 5D -      -0.5 to 18  (at 20 degrees C/68 F, ISO 100)
Canon 1D MkIII     0 to 20  (at 23 degrees C/73 F, ISO 100, 50mm f/1.4)
Canon 1DsMkIII -  -1 to 18  (at 23 degrees C/73 F, ISO 100)

OM-4Ti TTL avg.    5 to 19  (normal temp/humidity, ISO 100, 50mm f/1.4)
        TTL spot           0 to 19  (normal temp/humidity, ISO 100, 50mm f/1.4)

I'm not sure where the eSIF numbers come from you've quoted.  The OM-4 
manual says TTL avg. is -5 to 19.  But it also says TTL spot is -0 to 
19.  It's not clear why the 0 should be signed which makes me leery of 
the -5 in the OM-4 manual that's not repeated in the OM-4Ti manual.  The 
OM-2s, however, does say -5 to 17.  The eSIF's OM-4Ti claim of -7 EV for 
spot is not to be found in any of the manuals. The OM-3Ti manual only 
lists 0 to 19.   The OM-40 lists 0 to 18 which does not agree with the 
eSIF's -0.5 to 18.
