If i pint one it might not be true 18%. cheers Some photography books come with the inside back cover painted an 18% grey. I've got one at home but can't remember right now which it is. I t may be one of the Kelby or Sammons books that I have. Too much camera - too little experience.

The National Geographic Field Guides are that way. So you either rip the cover off or take the whole book with you... I don't know what NG was thinking. A tear-out card would be better.

Hhhm, ther inside of my camera bag is grey, but it's slightly shiny grey. I presume the material needs to be matt? I might try and glue a bit of grey felt. Not sure of the exact shade required though. View mein website:

Unless you're thinking of gray for WB, & you can do that with white paper too. See post #13, above.Oh. Dunno. Presumed you were talking about 18% grey card for exposure, and I was thinking how I could sow a peice of 18% grey velver into the inside of my camera bag. View mein website:
