What lens are you using?

I wonder if you've set the meter to spot metering by accident? If that went unnoticed then you would get very erratic exposures.
The K10D may be on the dark side, but the exposures are consistent.

Presumably after several tries, focusing in both directions to make sure a good average is arrived at. It may also vary with focal length, even temperature, so being 100% precise won't be possible.

Yes, the K10D does give quite dark images sometimes. Making sure the highlights are not blown out may have been taken a little too far.
If you use the exposure compensation feature to add perhaps +0.5EV or +0.7EV then all will be well.

Now I understand.

K7 settings gentlemen? It will take your minds off unsavoury subjects...

It probably makes no difference to the end result, but in terms of compatibility you've more or less answered the question already.

I find something slightly odd in the concept of going on holiday and taking a test chart to photograph...there might be better subjects! :

Serious amateur is not intended to denigrate other amateurs, but merely designates the idea that some of us have photography as a major pursuit rather than a minor one. Just like those who seriously fish no doubt spend a fortune on rods at a level commensurate with their interest. A lot of these phrases are used in a generally well understood way, but they aren't closely defined.

No they don't say why Chris, but they all say it. Given that the manufacturers are in accord, perhaps we should believe them? After all, there doesn't seem to be much evidence that it isn't true either, and I'm too busy to stop and check everything the manual says, as I'm sure everybody else is.
If it's not true, then why do they all say it is?
