Zone System practicality with roll film?

[photophorous]

Thanks Paul. I would love to learn how to control the developing so I can contrast it more or make it grainy. But that can also be done in PPing as well. But I rarely adjust much more than the exposure in PPing.

It's really hard to reduce contrast in PPing but increasing contrast works better. I usually develop my negatives so they will be a little low in contrast, knowing the roll will have both high and low contrast shots. This salvages some of the high contrast shots and still allows me to increase contrast in PPing where needed. I'd like to get the negatives perfect, but with 38 exposures on one roll, you have to compromise.
