Dennis,

I have a spot meter, but it is an analog Pentax and big. I very seldom use
it. However, it has its uses. For example, it is the thing to use when you
want to get 7 zones on Tri-X in Colorado. For most things, the meter on the
M5 is dynamite. I disagree with those who put down this camera. Yes, it is big.
