At one point I had three different meters (before I decided on the 358) and checked them all together for amusement (they all reported the same f stop so I assumed each was correct)

Michael, somehow, or another, I've ended up with two of the L-358 meters. I get the same readings from both.
There's no exposure compensation on the meter, or the K7.
I borrowed a Canon 40D and tamron 17 - 50 lens from the local B&M yesterday to run a comparison. I used the same lens on my K7.
Using the settings indicated by the L-358, The 40D was spot on. the K7 was about a stop and a half underexposed.
i had the exact same situation with my k20D.
So, my conclusion is that there's a problem with the K7.
Well, off to repair again.
