I know the Zone System very well and it's the cause I don't use it, the zone system does not fit in my photography style. Ansel Adams was an admirable photographer and I like very much his photographs, the zone system is a tool and if this tool worked for him, that is OK. BTW, I'm satisfied in general about my photographs technical conditions despite I don't use the zone system, I can say that most of my photographs have a better tonal performance than several photographs taken following the zone system supposedly.
