In M mode, how does manual aperture control using the aperture ring compare to the same setting using body aperture control? Are the exposures comparable?

Step down metering in M mode results in an exposure +/- half a stop of what I would expect; the shutter speeds decided by step down metering and the body using A mode are pretty much in line, changes by half a stop here and there, but A mode causes the overexposure when stopped down. I should have added after F5.6 the overexposure stays at 1.5 stops.

Ugh, I meant stop down metering. Also to add, stop down metering is close, but if it deviates, it is usually using a faster shutter than the calculated amount.
