This new camera was named the "Spotmatic" because of an idea that seemed better in raw concept than it would have been in commercial execution. The early (circa 1961) prototypes had a spotmeter but when turned over to average amateurs less skilled in the Ansel Adams zone exposure methods than this new tool required, results were terribly disappointing. The name, however, was retained for obvious marketing reasons. "Spotmatic" does seem obviously sexier and more appealing than "Center Weighted A Matic" which would have been truer to this new camera's abilities.
