Getting the exposure right means getting all the important tones in the shot. If you are shooting B&W film, you need to adjust your development too. If you are shooting digital, you need to shoot Raw and get the tones to the right with no blinking in any important highlight and no significant mounding up of the histogram. Then in conversion you adjust it back down and tweak the contrast.
