I also practiced "visualization", trying to match my perception of a scene to values of an abbreviated gray scale  I'd stored in my mind (no, not 10 Zones, just some :-) . The results were not exact, to be sincere, but I had the feeling that I understood what I was doing - what happened and why - in every step. I understood what happened if I changed anything. I could "fine tune" the process if I wished.and  also roughly predict the results.
