I've a Pentax Digital Spotmeter and think it's wonderful. If you
understand its workings you'll find that it'll give you about 1/6 stop
readings. I have nothing negative to say about this meter except
that, in very low light situations, it's sometimes hard for me to find
the central spot. OTOH, it's proven to be accurate, reliable, easy to
use, and very simple to operate. There are no unnecessary bells and
whistles. The Pentax Spotmeters have earned a well deserved
reputation, and are the meters by which all other spot meters are
judged. I carry mine with me every day, and it gets banged about, but
it's never given me a hint of trouble. IMO, there are no bad points to
the meter other than, for me, trying to find the central spot in very
low light situations while trying to read off a dark object.
Do a Google search on Pentax Spotmeter and you'll find numerous
articles and comments about the meter. The comments are all quite
positive. If you can get it at a good price, grab it.
