I'm not pulling your leg either when I say that if you want accuracy less than 1/2 
stop then you cannot use a separate meter, and that has nothing to do with the meter 
itself but due to the fact that theres no way you can transfer this exact meter 
reading to a camera with less than 1/2 stop accuracy. 
The best Pentax ever for exact metering and exposure is the Z-1p because it has spot 
metering. a dead precise meter, a dead precise shutter (as oppose to all early 
Pentaxes), exposure setting in 1/3stops increments, and most importantly, exposure 
readouts in 1/3 stop increments.
