I think its deeply fulfilling to have a good grasp of what your textural
range is so you know when you point your camera at something which areas
are going to have detail which are probably printable in the shot and which
areas are not. Thresholds.
Thresholds of detail or texture. Sometimes roman numerals help some seem to
feel like they need to live without them.
Not sure if they is going to be perceived as going against what Dennis and
Marvin are saying here or not. I think its possible we're all basically
agreeing. But semantics vary.

I like to be able to count to four (steps) from my shadow textural threshold
to my highlight textural threshold. Which for me is from III to VII.
If its more than four I worry.
And yes this is more Arnolds zone system than Ansel's.
