The exposure meters in EOS DSLRs appear to be flaky when used with non EOS chip equipped lenses (any brand, not just Leica). See the Leica FAQ entry I have on this at: <http://nemeng.com/leica/002f.shtml> After the page loads, scroll down to the "Non-Canon lens TTL exposure errors" heading. BTW, this info also turns up if you use a web search engine called "Google": <http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=canon+leica+exposure+error> :?)
