Dario,
I just looked up our 2-year e-mail exchange: http://www.pdml.net/pipermail/pdml_pdml.net/2007-August/086939.html I stand corrected for the fact that Godfrey did NOT see it with his K10D, while I did with my *ist DS. In the messages linked above Godfrey gives a very reasonable explanation of why it can happen. And no, I don't think I am hitting the low limit of the meter. (E.g. 1/15s f/1.4-f/2.8) But yes, it does happen in relatively low light.
