I have a 'telephoto eye', in that I notice and visualize tele shots more natuarally than WA shots. As a result, I always have a long lens along when doing any serious shooting. A quick measurement of the 1-4 screen shows that the spot meter covers about 10-110f the width of the frame. With a 200mm lens and its 12 deg angle of view, the OM-4x becomes about a 1.2 deg spot meter (300mm ~= 0.8deg). Just slip on the long lens for those tough readings, no separate meter needed.
