I can see several reasons why not: the point of small Pentax bodies seems
quite pointless if you have to carry a rather bulky spotmeter as well; you

The in-body spot meters are 3 degree.
Almost small area rather than spot.

Steve,
Used K1000 ($120 US)
Used Pentax Digital Spot Meter ($175 US)
That's what I currently use for spot metering... and metal body :-)

OK, OK, maybe that's an alternative. Still means
extra equipment to carry around. Why didn't they ever
