Question for any who have read Way Beyond Monochrome

[Ulophot]

In the edition I got from interlibrary loan, now returned, on page 114 is the first instance I could find of a special notation I don't comprehend.

I believe a cited Zone is followed by two large dots, which are then followed by a 5. The two dots seem to represent thirds of a stop, but the 5?

I could find no explanation of the notation, which appears several times thereafter. I could not find a previous instance of it in the book.

In case I get the book again, anyone know what this is?

[Tin Can]

I read it

My copy is somewhere

I regret buying and reading

May be still packed from my move 7 years ago.

Go over to Photrio and ask Ralph Lambrecht, the author. He's a poster there.

[Tin Can]

Glad to hear he is alive and well

I read the book too early and too late

I used to buy and read many books

However I now need Audio Books to save my eyes for LFPF

In my copy, there is just one dot, not two. I assume the dot (or more correctly, bullet) is used because it follows a Roman numeral which does not conventionally use decimal points, so as not to be confused with a period. So in the example Zone I•5 would indicate Zone I-1/2. Just a guess on my part.

The conversation on the topic over at Phototrio is lively, while, as of this writing, still awaiting on a definitive reply from Mr. L., himself.

In my copy, 2nd edition, the only bullets I see are in a table in page 116. One bullet (dot) represents 1/3 stop increment while two bullets represent 2/3 stop increment between zones.
It is this that you are talking about?
