Response to Bulk loading and the Zone system

Unless you approach 35mm photography like view-camera work, where you stop and deliberate over every scene you shoot and then shoot mutliple frames of it, trying to employ the zone system is going to tie you in knots. The 35mm camera is for walking and shooting. Wondering which lens to use is enough complication. Simplify your shooting routine as much as you can. Find the right EI for your film and a processing scheme that gives you negs you can print on a good graded paper or VC paper and do your fiddling in the darkroom.
