Hmm... sententious as usual. As we both shoot slide and nature, we can't be that different in tastes when assessing "good" exposure after all. So it must be the cameras. Likely the MZ-S and PZ-1p read the additional DX exposure latitude info that allows it to recognize the slide film and balance the multisegment algorithms accordingly towards neutral or slight underexposure. On the contrary, my MZ-5n lack the pins for DX exposure latitude, so it assumes it's always loaded with negative film, hence in *certain* *conditions* it exposes for shadows, something that is perceived as overexposure on slide . And this is not a malfunction, it's simply the intended behaviour as others have confirmed. Personally I'm not bothered at all as I use the spot meter anyway for all my slide work - and I rarely miss it.
