I have been using zone metering in my X-T1 and other cameras for a long time. After all, my X-T1 shows me the exact zone of each part of the image in 1/3 steps between Zones 2 and 8. All I have to do is set the camera to manual mode, select ISO, aperture and shutter speed, set spot metering and point the camera's metering frame at whatever part of the image I want to zone-meter. Thanks to the 245 available zone metering frame positions and sizes, it's easy to adjust the metering frame to whatever object I want to meter. The light level scale in the EVF immediately shows me what zone the metered object will end up in: 0 equals zone 5, -3 equals zone 2, +3 equals zone 8. It's idiot-proof, so even I can use it.
