[QUOTE="STM, post: 113779, member: 12827"] The histogram is all well and good for digital, but the very nature of digital photography does not lend itself well to the Zone System although I still use it to get the best exposure most times since I am not all that trusting of a camera's meter. The Zone System is designed for [I]film,[/I] and more specifically, black and white film. Believe it or not I only got a digital camera about 2 years ago, I have been shooting film since 1972. Digital is fine when you have clients who want their stuff [I]yesterday[/I], but when it comes to my personal stuff, I would guess about 75% of my stuff is still shot on film and about 2/3 of that with my Hasselblad. I go to 35mm primarily when I have a lens I need in 35mm but not in 2[FONT=Calibri][COLOR=#000000]¼[/COLOR][/FONT]. [/QUOTE]
