24-105 Z - does it tend to overexpose?

[Copland]

Somehow I can't shake the impression that the 24–105 Z, when used with any of my EOS camera bodies, tends to slightly overexpose.
Have any of you noticed the same thing with your copy?

For example, when I'm shooting reportage in consistent daylight conditions: Av mode, wide open aperture, Auto ISO, I only find the exposure to look neutral, when I dial in between -1/4 and -1/3 EV exposure compensation.

I can't observe this behavior with any of my other Canon lenses, they used to be natural at +/- 0 EV in 98% of the situations.
So I'm wondering: is this a general calibration characteristic of this lens, or could it be that only my particular copy is affected?

I do not notice this with my RF 24-105/2.8 on my R1.

I've not noticed this, either.

Like the others, I have not noticed any overexposing tendency on the R5 or R1.

What other Canon lenses have you been using other than the 24-105 Z? Do they all have smaller apertures?

No overexposing at all.
Yet, I had to send back mine, due to unsharp corners at every focal length and aperture below f/8-11.
Shouldn't have happened with such an expensive new lens. First and only Canon lens I had to return!
S..t happens!
