I still shoot and use film for some of my portraiture and as I shoot a c.1975 Mamiya m645 without an-camera meter, I knew this book and the skills taught inside (especially pre-visualization) would be useful. Certainly I was proven right when I developed the first roll of film after following Johnson's methods. My negatives were dense and beautiful and yielded almost precisely the image I had hoped to capture. That, alone, was worth the price of the book.
Like many working photogs, though, I primarily use digital in my day to day work. I wondered if this book would be really relevant to the experience of "shoot -- chimp -- adjust -- shoot -- repeat" that most of us do.
I'm pleased to report that it is.
Johnson clearly explains how your camera sensor records information and how a working knowledge of the zone system -- and, btw, it's a simple learning curve to competence, if not mastery -- will allow you to better translate your ideas onto that medium. This may not make a hoot of difference for someone firing 10fps at a football game, but for those who prefer to make photos, instead of just find them, this book is a quiet little gem.
Highly recommended.
