Do you feel there is a difference between adjusting for the scene contrast by exposure adjustment and film development or by using a set EI and multicontrast paper.
If you have tried either or both can you comment on resulting tonality etc. Do you find an unnatural compression or expansion of any section of the image when under or over exposing and then under or over developing?
As an example, do you think a 100 iso responds the same at 100 iso as at 25 iso and development shortened for the increased exposure.
I'm not asking for a ZS explanation as such, I personally use the ZS and BTZS and fully test film using BTZS relative to each developer but not everyone uses those systems to handle scene contrast.
Interested to hear what methods people use. Spot, incident - wet finger to the wind :)
