The thing is, like all brlliant ideas, the BTZS is so simple that once it sinks in it does not need much on the way of further clarification. I would say that 90% of the questions made here, could have been answered by the same person if they had thought about it a little bit longer. I know it has happened to me a couple of times.

I think putting a "BTZS light" on the web would be a disservice to those wanting to learn it, the book is so thorough and well explained, that once you get through with it, you pretty much know all there is to know.

As Phil said, the joy of the BTZS is that it frees you from the drudgery of continuous testing and allows you to concentrate on photography.

If all you want to know is how it works, well the idea is very simple, find out what is the exposure scale of your favorite paper, and adjust the exposure and development of the negative to fit that paper.

But really, you have to get the book and let it all sink in. I was one of those that wanted a "BTZS light." But I am now convinced Phil is right, it is better to have all the background information and understanding of the principles to really master it and be confident in the results. Unfortunatelly, once you reach this stage, you have no need to come to the forum.....
