The person who asked about the spot-metering of an OM-4. At least half of the Zone System depends on development. The difference in contrast you mention is due to b&w film latitude. Of course, the same thing happens if you have *any* spot-metered camera and adjust your exposure according to careful examination of your scene. /jordan
