Hi Moose,

The setting was at -.7, my usual choice.  But, in varying the EV both plus 
and minus, I discovered that, while I could change the outcome, nothing 
worked right.  I then found that, if I set EV to Zero, things seemed to work 
normally.  I changed to the ZD 14-54 and set P Mode for fully automatic 
control, and got good exposures.

I'm beginning to think that there is something awry in the EV circuitry. 
Apparently, by choosing "0", I am taking that out of play, and things work 
right.

Thanks for the clue, and I am still open to suggestions.
