Does anyone know if Kodak gray cards really have a flat spectral response?
It seems to me that they were originally designed for taking light meter
readings from, not for setting the white balance in a digital camera. Has
anyone taken a full spectro reading from one in sunlight, say with an
Eye-One Pro? I have an Eye-One, but don't have a Kodak gray card.
