Winsor,
that is weird, if anything... ;-)
Someone used to make a hemisphere on a filter ring, to make a TTL camera
into an incident meter. Don't know how well it worked, but an incident meter
is still the best for 900f most people's photography. Bill Pearce
That is still available, I saw it last year.
But I think spot metering handles all my negative work very well.
Maybe for transparencies, incident meters are better.

Before I got my OM4T I used incident light metering a lot. It is
really useful if your only other meter measures a large area. Now
with spot metering I use incident measures only occasionally in
particularly difficult situation, mostly in close focus situations.
