Mark,
I did the same experiment this AM.  The PZ-1p will spot meter with a K lens (tried the 
K24/2.8).  The PZ-1 will not spot meter with a K lens.  So I'd revise what I said to 
this...

PZ-1:  NO Spot metering with K and M lenses, you need A,F,FA
     and NO matrix metering with K & M, only Center Weighted.
PZ-1p:  Center Weighted OR Spot metering with K & M lenses
     and NO matrix metering with K & M, only  Center Weighted.
     and Spot, Matrix, or Center Weighted with A, F & FA lens.

Thanks to you and Paal for pointing that feature out, I had missed it on the PZ-1p.
Regards,  Bob S.
