Now help me out, I always learned that zone 3 was 1.5 over base + fog and 1 and 2, 9 and 10 was not printable. Help my understanding. Prints were zone 3 to 8 Negitives and Transparency's were...
you can also meter your hand facing the sky in shadow and stop down two stops. This would place it in zone 4.

I understand that 1.2 over base +fog is the proper density for your negitive. This is according to Gassons handbook of Photo and Whites book, Tytle excapes me. God drilled it into me years ago.
Opps, I was thinking small format processing, but concepsts are the same just different way to develope transparencies. I loved to shoot my old 4x5 slides. Why people refuse to call them that...
