The ZONE SYSTEM was devised by ANSEL ADAMS. It allows you to practically work out the tonal range of your subject in order to pre-visualise how your picture might turn out, and thus work out your settings in advance to gain the best technical effect.
The above extract from Langford's Advanced Photography accurately describes how the system works in practise. Taken from Langford's Advanced photography, 7th Edition, Focal Press.
