I think if you look at the greyscale value at F5.6 you will see if everything is based on this value all the graphs will fall on top of each other, or almost so

I have tried 3 more times with different surfaces at different distance. I also can point out I desaturated each image before taking a reading on the histogram. All tests performed on a tripod at 100 iso center metering wb set to daylight. There is a general trend but not much more than that. I think the amount of light and distance from camera play a big part in this combined with the camera deciding to jump up or down on readings in between. Looking though my camera settings dynamic range shadow corrections was set to auto if that might have some effect, I don't shoot jpg normally.
Thinking back to my A50 with modeling lights perhaps the flicker has some effect on metering? how much time does the camera meter for? Also with the a50 I had compared aperture priority in A setting to manual green button metering. On manual this necessitated I did not have the lens set to A because it would change the aperture as well as the shutter. I did use the A setting for Av mode.

All: You’re certainly right on top of this

It is my 45th High School Reunion weekend. I’m pretty booked up this particular weekend (activities in 30 minute increments through tomorrow morning)!

Also with this lens are the two sets of exposures quite consistent except for the oddity af F16.

The exposure variation is easy to compensate for being basically constant from F4.8.

Figures in red are interpolated (no click stop at those apertures).

ISO was 100.

Good observation.

At least up to F19 if it wasn't for the odd man out, the K 50 F1.4 (I suspect my copy may have an unreliable aperture mechanism). Also the M28 sticks out some going a third of a stop above the rest.

Two sets of exposures are quite consistent.

The exposure variation is "prettier" than when the lens was used on the K-3.

Figures in red are interpolated (no click stop at those apertures).

ISO was 100.

any chance on posting the grey scale values too? i am trying to set up to make some averages etc.

[Not a Number]

so why not put a shared spreadsheet on google docs and people can put the raw data points in there?

The gray scale values are in my previous posts for each individual lens/camera combo.

I can send you my spreadsheet if that would help. If so, PM me your mail address.

Shadow correction realy messes things up. it grabs onto little highlights and low lights and shifts everything up to 2 stops

its possible looking into it
