I'm still gobsmacked over that lens. The wider field worked better too, and I should have left mine also at 24mm.

Yes, I noticed that jump too, thought I had switched to manual exposure, but not obviously if you had it too.

Its a puzzle, but I suspect the internal metering gets tricky at low light and a bit of guessing sets in. Phil and I (mostly Phil) have developed an external ultra wide range ambient light meter for full day/night measuring to allow full auto control, it wont be causeing that kind of nasty Canon jumpiness .
