Exactly right in all respects. I bought Ansel Adam’s 3 classic books in the early 70s and the zone system was a revelation for me in “seeing” light. As the OP begins his film journey, a copy of “The Negative” and understanding the zone system would be part of a good foundation, especially when shooting B&W.

Please understand the my statement about 'questions' was in general and in no way meant towards yours.It's so funny that you say, "when I become on... (show quote)
It's the "I'm going to whatever. What lens or settings should I use?" that shows the lack of understanding.

I have a 65" Sony XBR with Apple TV 4K. The result of this combination is stunning. Unsurprisingly, as Apple users, we have an Apple TV 4K "set top box." No complaints. It's a HUGE upgrade to our ten year old Samsung Smart TV. I get my YouTube and my wife gets her Netflix, Prime, BritBox, and other services. Once you get used to the remote, it's great. Whatever signal processing they do is FAR better than the TV ever did. The picture just pops, with better color, contrast, and far more detail.
It leaves all of my old video guys speechless.
Do you remember when Apple went with Trinitron monitors? In a class by itself!

I have been a Toyota guy for over 40 years. I have owned many cars from numerous countries.
If you want a highly reliable vehicle that retains its value, buy one.
We in the industry refer to Lexus as a 'Toyota with lock washers'.

Congrats on a great camera purchase. You will not be disappointed.
I was going to go into a long essay on this subject but the posts before me have said it all.
The fundamentals of photography have not changed.
It is sad that so many questions asked on the hog would be unnecessary if that basic knowledge were in place.
Us old film guys have an advantage because it is burned into our soul. We just look at a subject and shoot. We do the setup without a single thought most of the time. When you become one with your gear, it is a 6th sense.
Good luck. You will have fun.

How to get out of a bad marriage. 
I was at the check out in the grocery store the other day.
The guy asked, "Do you want a bag?"
I replied, "No, I had a bag but I got a divorce!!"

It's always nice to sift through and reminisce.
I couldn't help but comment when I saw "Somewhere near North Pole, Alaska".
I spent most of 2003 somewhere near North Pole, down just past Delta at Greely.
We did such a good job, they gave us a 2 month vacation in the islands.
They sent us to Shemya!

Now lesson#2. Prunes are dried plums. Plums are so juicy. Why do they sell prune juice but not plum juice?
Answer: Because as plums dry they soak up vitamins from the sun. Super concentrated and healthy and that other benefit.
Here's the brain thumper: Why do they sell grape juice and not raisin juice?

Mike's shop is about a 15 minute drive from my home.
I thought some of the gearheads might like to read a little about his shop.

As an old bench tech, I always used the barrel of the original BIC pen. It fit better.
The soft wood of the pencil would wear down with continued use.
