If you're looking for a spot meter then go for the Pentax Spot MkV - 
an excellent and sturdy meter which takes the guesswork out of 
incident metering when you are several thousand feet up and shooting 
with a long focal length :-)

The Pentax meters are a lot cheaper used than you might expect.  Have 
a trawl through EBay or your local camera stores.
