We have shot weddings with it, no problem. It's versatile and a really nice gritty lens in terms of its contasty, sharp results. This is shown in the test by the high MTF20 results.
The focusing is near silent and very fast, the build quality is excellent.

As a separate meter, there are much more sensitive ones now and many double as flash meters as well. To be honest, I don't see any advantage over the camera meter, which is more sensitive and possibly more accurate.
If I had the choice I would use a spot meter in preference, Pentax, Soligor or Minolta, but cameras also have that facility now.
So not overwhelming excitement from me I'm afraid, but at one time it would have been very different and I have used the Weston Master V with great success.

But then there's the WG or the K01 as pocketable solutions.... decisions.
The WG cameras will add the waterproof feature - could be useful.
The Q will give you the spontaneity you are after. And the fun. And the 300mm lens bolted on.....
