David,
To clarify, you tried the experiment below. You mounted a K or M lens
and checked metering without and with Spot? You got significantly different
reading using Spot? Can you tell us what lens you used?
My PZ-1 has never worked this way since purchased new. I was an early
purchaser, but many others have noted this discrepancy before. Mark Roberts
and others have web pages devoted to modifying M & K lenses to allow spot and
matrix metering.
Regards, Bob S.
