Thanks, John, I'll keep it in mind.
This morning, I spoke with another local LF photographer, Jim Stewart (beautiful work, https://jrileystewart.com/), who also mentioned -- unprompted-- meter linearity. He said that he had had flare problems with a Sekonic spot meter and had drilled a hole in the lens cap for it, large enough to allow full vision of the spot field, and that this significantly reduced the problem, though he said it dropped the reading about 2 stops.
Adams writes about making a cardboard tube, matte black inside, also to reduce flare. I may give this a try, though in the circumstances I have been measuring, the sun was at my back. Perhaps it will cutting internal flare from more-than-frame-filling high-value subjects.
