I know the zone sytem, William - IIRC it requires that you measure shadows and higlight for each shot in order to place things in the right (wnated) zone - provided you "develop" each shot individually. With all respect - I thought the issue here was how to AVOID post processing? Regards Jens Bladt http://www.jensbladt.dk +45 56 63 77 11 +45 23 43 85 77 Skype: jensbladt248

You need to read up on the Zone System. It's a very useful tool with digital, since each file can be processed individually.
