Based on the technique used by master photographer Ansel Adams, the Zone System is a method of exposing and printing extremely high quality black & white photographs. This method has been called one of the most important develop­ments in photography since the introduction of the first consumer cameras. However, to most photographers, the practice of the Zone System seems complicated and confusing. Brian Lay has formed an understandable routine for learning the mechanics and art of this method of exposure and development for perfect control of the tones and segments in a black and white image. The author provides techniques that make this approach as workable for small format cameras (35mm) and roll film (medium format) as it is for large for­mat/sheet film cameras.

Includes:
Zone system basics.
Calibrating your light meter.
Determining the proper zone for any subject.
Printing the negative step by step.
