I just looked into this and found out it is a very attractive product.
A one-degree or even five-degree measuring angle in digital from Sekonic is quite costly; I've been in touch with Sekonic because my 308S Sekonic meter has a fifty-degree measuring angle.
Sekonic answered all my questions except about narrow incident (not reflected) measurement. I infer that their narrow measuring angle does not work for narrow-angle incident metrics.
The manual for this analog Pentax Spotmeter V is here: http://www.photo-manuals.com/manual/pentax/light-meter/spotmeter-v
I used an Adobe CC app to search the text of the manual, since the download is an image, not text.
The manual indicates this is a reflected type meter. Not the answer to my own prayers but it should be quite valuable indeed for general photography with high dynamic range.

Hi,
Thanks for your input!
If you look towards the end of the manual. There is a table of relative reflected light for different colors and objects.
Check it out. There maybe some valuable information there for you.
