Ditto. I usually can get a pretty good correction by going
to the WB setting just cooler than the condition setting
(i.e., if Sunny, one under that, etc.). Which is why I
think that when using Zuikos on the E-1 it is good 1) to
shoot RAW and 2) use Olympus Viewer, which can mimic the
camera settings (all, not just WB). Helps you learn a lot
about your lenses.
But now as I think about it, I do think I experience these
variations far more with Zuikos than with the ZD 14-54. So
I do really wonder if the sensor isn't gagging a little bit
when a Zuiko is mounted. Another reason why the two steps
above are quite helpful.
