My favorite spot meter is an OM-4ti... :-)
Seriously, why do you think you need one?
I'm a great fan of incident metering. Sure, you THINK you've spot-metered Zone
V, until you get the slides back and they're all off a stop!
If you're convinced you need to go to the expense of an external meter,
consider getting one with flash function built-in. Any other capability of an
external meter can be duplicated by moving the camera and using a gray card,
but not flash exposure!
I've got a Gossen that is used 99.9950f the time as an incident flash meter. I
even have the spot attachment for it (came with it via eBay). I used it exactly
once, when I first got it, just to see if it worked.
