I looked at the new sekonic. The main problem I saw was that the spot readings are not in the viewfinder (which has no display at all) which, I would find very inconvenient. Also, with its multiple modes and switches, I was afraid of getting confused in the field. So far I use my built in spot meter in my nikon, and I have a separate flash/incident meter (luna star) that i seldom use. There are a few high-end meters which would do flash and spot and provide a viewfinder display, but they are more complicated, bigger, and mor e expensive. If you need only a spot meter, the pentax is a good, no non-sense u nit which is used by many landscape photographers. I think that a pair pentax sp ot (for outdoors) and luna star (for studio) would be good. If I gave up my 35mm (which is not going to happen soon!), I'd probably carry the pentax spot instead.
