Re: BTZS Metering Question
N+2 would be the right development on a flat day when you effectively have 5 stops of Subject Luminance Range when N Normal is considered to be 7 stops.

Thanks Bill
Re: BTZS Metering Question
Depends on the type of paper you like to use. With the advent of high-quality multigrade papers 30 years ago, the need for selective development for each frame can be eliminated. But then I'm a maniac when it comes to checking my filters and eliminating flare in the darkroom. Maybe you use some other printing process, in which case you would need to test and see.
As pointed out, in the 'BTZ system' as described, the scene would need some increase in development time assuming you did not want to or could not print to a higher grade (lower ISO(R)).
