Hi all;
Is there a web site anywhere that lists or shows spectral transmissions for photographic filters?

Give you an example of the sort of thing I am looking for, wee this web site
http://www.astrosurf.com/~buil/filters/curves.htm

Reason I am asking is not all red or yellow or magenta filters are the same. Tried the various company web sites (Hoya, Tiffen, B+W, etc) but failed to find anything. Maybe I just didn't look right.

thanks much
joe

Try the Heliopan site. It is in German but all filters are shown. The same curves are in the Heliopan brochure which is in English.
