Default zone system test with filter on lens?

Since I will eventually be using the camera in the portrait studio
with a yellow/green filter, would it be wrong to do the testing with
the filter over the lens?



Are you doing a film speed test? If you intend to use the filter nothing
wrong with testing with the filter on. It'll give you a more accurate result.
