"Fred Archer was an instructor at the Art Center College in Los Angeles. He 
formed the basis of the zone system in a
series of articles in the old U.S.Camera  magazine that were published in the 
late 30's. Adams noticed these contacted
Archer and went on to more formally define the current language of the zone 
system."

>>It really only works in all its aspects with large format view cameras, field 
>>cameras, etc. since each piece of film
can be processed separately.<<

>>The most succinct and useful explanation of its use for 35mm is in a little 
>>book called The Zone
Six Workshop by Fred Picker.  It's available (at Amazon, probably) and well 
worth studying IMO.<<
