Ok, but in real world at night time the change of ambient light during
exposure is seldom happen. Unless you are talking about shooting star,
otherwise you can capture most scenes at EV0 sensitivity level, did a lot
with many DCs in auto mode and don't see a problem yet. Ok, it is welcome to
see a better sensitive but I don't see it is critical.

I don't expect to use my DC at sub-zero temperature, the DC is also not a
total replacement of my OM system... yet, any change is gradually, it will
not happen in one day. BTW, I use my Zuikos on 10D, they will live and
usable forever!
