Oh, I have flash meters, that is not the problem. These did not

I was watching a documentary(sp) where all this chappy seemed to
use was
a Pentax spot meter, similar to mine to take a reflective reading
from the background... the doco was not on photography, I was simply
pondering how an acurate reading could be taken with an analog
spot meter for a background exposure.... I must of missed something
in there. What came first, the flash meters or the spot meters?
I guess I don't understand the situation.
You could meter the background reflectivity and judge flash fill/
reflectance with a spot meter, if you know your setups well enough.
But it almost seems more work then just learning how to judge that by
eye.
