Alek, See the post I just sent. The PZ-1 will not spot meter with K & M lenses. The PZ-1p will do so. Regards, Bob S.

On the PZ-1, when you use an A, F, or FA lens, you get matrix metering. >With the PF function, you set the camera to do Matrix & Spot, or Matrix & Center >Weighted at the flip of that Spot button...provided you use an A, F, or FA lens. > > > >This option can cause some variation in how your slides are exposed.
