I am trying to figure out which Pentax bodies offer spot metering, because I don't have an external spot meter and I do need an extra body, so I thought I could combine these . From what I have found out (mainly from Bojidar Dimitrov's page), Pentax bodies can be divided into two categories: the bodies in which you can choose spot metering dependless of the exposure mode and the ones that can use spot metering only in manual (or hypermanual) mode. So the two groups are as follows:
First group Z1, Z1p Z5, Z5p MZS MZ3 MZ5 MZ5n Second group SF7/SF10 Z10, Z10p Z20, Z20p Z50, Z50p Is the above correct or I am missing something here? (to be honest I can't understand why the "flagship" of the SF series, the SFXn, doesn't offer spot metering, and the same applies to the MZ7, which is one of the more recent Pentax bodies...)
