Also remember that the Zone in what a subject will be (if exposing what incident metering says) depends o the subject's reflectiveness, as subject can be white, grey or black...
So imagine your subject is a 18% grey card, you read the incident light to expose... the card will be at Z V. If instead the card you have a subject that reflects 36% of light towards the camera then (with same exposure) the subject will be in Z VI.
