I have been meaning to ask this question for a few days now. Someone with the knowledge of both theory and practice might be able to clarify.( Rob?)
I am thinking of the Adam's zone system.
So, lets say a particular view of a shot has all the 9 zones - absolute white to absolute black.
I measure the scene for an object which is zone 5 ( say f8/500). Also, say my film can record only 5 zones. So zones 3,4,5,6,7 will be recorded distinctly. Objects in zone 1 and 2 will be white, and zone 8,9 will be black.
Now I set the camera to f16/500. So object in zone 4 will record the mid-tone. The range that will be recorded is zone 2,3,4,5,6. Objects in zone 1 will be white; and objects in zone 7,8,9 will be black.
Have I got it right? How many zones can a normal b/w film ( say 100 ISO) without any push/pull record
