[net.rec.photo] The Zone System

mls@ittvax.ATC.ITT.UUCP (Michael Schneider) (08/08/85)

I have been using a modification of the Zone System on 35mm as well as with cut
film.  When you get down to the use of the system, it permits you to place
a segment of the photograph of a specific segment (zone) of the gray scale.
Thus, your whites come out white rather than gray. 

By the way, if you can get close enough to the subject, any light meter will
do.  Just take a close up reading.
