Yep, but my point is that people think the Zone System gets in the way. The problem with that idea is that it's not sitting around calculating a bunch of numbers that takes time. It's just like any other exposure "system" one might think up after it's assimilated. It's just as intuitive, quick, and has the benefit of being more precise than most, and more repeatable than shooting without any standardized calibration. The way people are characterizing it here, and elsewhere, scares a lot of people from even looking into it. That doesn't need to be the case. That's been my point.
