darin_cozine Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Someone on the LF forum was asking about a zone system target. I was thinking that it would be easy to print a target on an inkjet printer. But then I thought about differences in ink and paper and print drivers and it seemed a lot harder. This is what I came up with. Print extra grey steps. Then use your spot-meter to find the steps which correspond closest to the zone on a meter reading. Mark those steps accordingly. Then make exposures for zones 3-5. I was thinking that you could also use this technique to verify that your shutter speeds are correct on all your shutters. (assumiung you have at least one good shutter and your development was correct (and consistent). I created a grid with 16 grey steps. Note that there is is no pure white. The base white of the paper you print is used as white. I just used a straight increase in values (0,16,32,48,64,etc). But perhaps a logarthmic curve would work better.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
