At -1/3?
At -1/3?
If you can do without auto-focus, try the Olympus Trip 35. Going through your list:
* lens quality is famous, making this camera a cult classic;
* metering is accurate (but check first on such old cameras);
* flexibility: you have manual f-stops at 1/40th second;
* small size;
* no battery (Selenium cell powers meter);
* price is around US$40 for a working one.
The disadvantage: You must focus by symbol (on top of focus ring) or by scale (on bottom of focus ring).

If the -1/3 would fix the problem then the camera just need to be calibrated.
Quite the contrary, as center-weighted meters have proven inadequate with slide film without compensation!
You said -1/3. What do you mean by that?
You mean if you set the compensation -1/3 then it would work fine? If that the case the camera needs be calibrated. That's all.A 3rd of a stop!

Perhaps you need a lesson in exposure compensation! A course on the basic fundamentals of photography would be a start.
I am a professionally trained photographer with 45 years of experience! What has been clear to me since day one is that many people here are complete con artists who don't know the first thing about photography!
I think you do as I have successfully shot thousands (if not ten of thousand) of slides with the center weighted metering

Rats. We've been exposed.
As a test engineer, I would readily admit I am a technologist first and a photographer second
What I would like to see is a list comprised of:
Lens quality (sharpness, resolve, contrast, color rendition, etc.).
Metering accuracy and ability (suitable for slide film?).
Flexibility (manual control, defeatable flash?).
Camera size, and type of battery.
Current going price.
After reading through four pages of this, it seems like no such list can be compiled to the OP''s satisfaction. End of story, tap "Ignore Thread" button, g'bye . . .
