Seems to me as if the spotmeter capability could be built into
a new LX finder assembly as done w/ the P67's. A deluxe magnifying
finder w/ an optimal screen type and perhaps several selectable
metering areas. Perhaps some sort of fiber-optics bundle to a
single metering cell somewhere.
Of course, being up in the finder instead of down in the body,
a "cell on a stick" *could* be manually moved around to any part
of the screen. It could be a very small one, causing minimal
obstruction of the viewfinder image and it wouldn't block the
actual image-making lightpath as the original Spotmatic design did.
... just a thought
Bill
oh - and make the auto-wind optional/keep manual wind-on ability!
