I have usually my camera set at -0.33 and many times I still expose half stop less, what minds I?m exposing -0.83. This is usual rule when I expose with digital, I do this because in my opinion the highlights are easily over Zone X and with digital it is very difficult correct these over exposed highlights, if you want correct this in the edition as you say once the highlights are over exposed you can?t correct them and if you do it you obtain a ugly grey highlights. On the other hand with digital it is incredible the information you can get from the shadows, particularly with the Monochrom. But with film I do the opposite, remember the old rule ?Expose for the shadows and develop for the highlights?.
