Default How do I calibrate my photographic process

Where do I start. I want to get a better grip on my whole photographic
process. How do I go about calibrating my camera, development and printing
process?

Yes Ansel is the man!!! But additionally Beyond the Zone System
is another good reference written by Phil Davis.

A lot has happened since Ansel Adams. As I recall, the specifics about
films and chemicals etc are outdated. I still have the Adams trilogy and
enjoy its insights.

Relative to b&w film development, these two links were helpful to me for
calibrating that part of the process:
