With large format, I arrived late to the party, I have only been using it for a couple of years now and the majority of that time has been spent reading books and watching videos. I know I should have probably been out there making photographs and mistakes but I like to try and have a basic understanding on what I am doing rather than just fumbling my way through, its just the way I am made.
After reading lot's of material and watching tons of videos about the Zone System, they all relate to the tone in the final print.
What has got me wondering is, how the Zone System pans out to a scanning workflow rather than a wet darkroom workflow. For example, does an Epson V series scanner have a wider latitude than photographic papers. Is placing low values on Zone III and developing for Zone VIII high values still a good idea for scanners.
Interested in your thoughts on this.
