The Zone System involves taking readings from the shadow areas and/or
highlites and/or middle grey and/or anywhere else. Then deciding where
to 'place' the values in the Zones. The 4T is *perfect* for taking one
or more spot readings of a scene. After you've taken the readings,
there they are on the display, each and every one. Guess what? You can
***read the contrast range right off the shutter speed display***. You
can expose at the averaged reading, or you can bias the exposure any way
you want.
The 4T is perfect for the Zone System. If you disagree with this, you
either don't understand the zone system or you don't understand how to
use the OM-4T.
