Pentax did it that way on purpose, probably to save money. my D2X allows me
to spot meter on any available focus point, even if the camera moves focus
points while tracking a moving object.

What I'd like to see is the ability to spot-meter at different spots....
say a selectable corner? That would fix a lot of the metering problems
since center-weighted and matrix aren't as sensitive to one sensor being
off. Is that possible, or is the center sensor different somehow so it
allows spot metering?
