You could look at the following to see if it serves your purpose:

The normal minolta spot meter and spot meter F both give luminance readings but you need to use a lookup table to convert to cd/mē. They don't have all the features of the above link. Minolta meters have a tripod mount hole in their base.
But as I understand it, the L,a,b colour space is three dimensional and an L reading on its own is meaningless without the a and b components, so if you are thinking of the L from L,a,b then I don't think any of the above meters will do what you want but I could be wrong.
Don't know if any digital backs are able to use part of the sensor as a spot meter but since its digital all you need to do is take the picture and then look at a single point of the image to see its L component.
The following may do it:
