Hi,

consider a lens with a slowly closing aperture or a 3rd party lens which has
a poor aperture simulation function. The LX will produce pictures with
correct amount of light ! A camera without OTF can't do that.

I had myself the bug with the slow aperture blades. The meter showed 1/60
but the shot was much faster detected from the sound. It took some time
until I found the reason: the aperture blades closed down only a bit up to
the time when the shutter is open. With another camera I could forget about
the shot, but with the LX only the DOF was smaller than planned.

regards
Bernd
