It is my understanding that the Zone system was adapted by photographers to deal with the limitations of film+paper combinations in darkroom days. The objective was to control the contrast of the scene (givenfixed at the time of exposure) via adjusting the contrast of filmnegative (variable: exposure time + development) to match it to the contrast of photo paper (fixed). In other words, by expanding or contracting the contrast of the negative, the objective was to "fit" the contrast of the scene into the predefined contrast of the paper and have the print looking in a certain way, "pre visualized"...Show more →
If this was in response to my post ...
... I agree with most of your points. However, I occasionally see issues in my highlights that some people call the staircase effect, and since I do my own developing, I figured I should quantify where exactly it kicks in, because it sucks when I blindly trust that the "highlights fall where they may".
I also wanted to know how much dynamic range my preferred films have for my developing process.
But I agree that I prefer contrast manipulation in digital.

Thank you for the reference . I have never seen anything like that on my films.
It totally makes sense to determine how one's metering techniques and development method (temp+time+formula, etc) translate into the negative properties.
I always felt like my B&W negs are not contrasty enough for the scanner to use its ADC potential to the full potential

When you finally finish and process that roll in your Pen FT...It's like a time machine!

I know! I’m all like “so that was what I was doing 12 hours ago!”

Sweet! Looks like it was taken in the 1940s!

having so much fun with the Zeiss Super Ikonta 632/16 but unfortunately it is now out of commission for the next 3-4 weeks
