Can't comment on the K20 as i don't have one, but my K10D is usually set between +0.3 and +1.0. I can live with that except with just about every shot, in similar lighting and contrast, i need to jump between those numbers. Can be frustrating. The one good thing re my Nikon Dslr's is i just need

Working with the "exposure on the right" method (to keep noise at its lower), I always keep my Pentax DSLR's (first *istD, then K10D, now K20D) set at +0.7 EV as default, then changing compensation if/as needed. The +0.7 EV setting is good for say 80% of the shots. Dario -- PDML Pentax-Discus

What could be more heritical than this. I took the K20D out for a ramble today didn't want to be too encumbered with equipment so I just took two lenses, the FA 20-35mm f4.0 and the FA 28-200mm f3.8-5.6. I don't think I actually took a photo with the 20-35. Except for the fact that the camer
