Sort of. An incident meter "reads" the amount of light and gives an EV
based on that reading. Set the camera according to the reading and white
comes out white, grey comes out grey and black comes out black. Use a
reflected light meter the same way and white comes out grey, grey comes
out grey, and black comes out grey. With a reflected light meter you
have to be able to guess what reflects 18% of the light to get a proper,
overall meter reading.
Spot reflected light readings are good for determining the dynamic range
of a scene. It takes more experience, and particular circumstances, to
make good use of a spot meter.
