What difference would it have made in any priority mode, Kelly?

Thanks for backing me up on the shooting modeShadowfixer1 wrote: The shooting mode doesn't matter since the exif for the images match. Why would it matter how you got there if the exif matches? The meter or something is off on one of the cameras. I suggest going outside on a sunny day and metering off a paved road that has some age on it and see which one matches the sunny 16 rule. That will let you know which camera is accurate. If you have a gray card, then that's better but the old pavement trick works if you don't have or want to buy a gray card.

Agreed, seems very unlikely that the same lens would be moved from one body to another and a filter added as well.Nikon Shooter wrote:

Hi Randy and Kelly,
…and same lens… this suggests that no filter was in the equation.
OTOH, if a body was on a priority mode or program and the other
on manual…
You are correct. I went brain dead. The meter reading doesn't matter either since the exifs were the same. I am stumped as well. One camera is not closing down the aperture as much as the other when triggered or something.KCook wrote:

Alas, any meter reading is also irrelevant. All of the settings used are identical. So even if the cameras did meter differently, the "bad" reading makes zero difference. This is still a mystery.
