So it is strange. I also did similar test with the lamp. But centerweighted meter is quite similar to spot if you fill the finder with light/lamp for instance and not only in this case. I shall check in manual. But if it does not work it could not be dispalyed if you are working in spot meter. SO I do not know what to say. So only "p"version has spot with K and M lenses?
