This is a typical Nikon/Pentax finding.  All my Nikons have always
metered about 1/2 stop under all my modern Pentaxes (older Pentaxes -
pre multi-pattern - seem to be closer to Nikons).  The Nikons expose
slide films much more accurately, while the Pentaxes expose negative
films a little denser, giving better results there.  

Thanks,
Ed
