As another cautionary note: don't mistake practising the Zone System for Photography. It ain't.
I got so obsessed with testing materials that after a while testing of materials was all I did. One day, I woke up to the fact that I was using it as an excuse not to think and feel and shoot. You see, doing photography was too damn hard. I was happier playing around with materials and fooling myself and those not in the know that I was a photographer.
Don't fall into that trap. Know what the spirit of the Zone System is and not the letter.
