I was looking at some charts online from Ilford fp4+, Fomapan 100 and Fuji Acros, to compare them a little in relation to spectral sensitivity.
I am not well fared into the inner guts of these charts, so I wondered what this mean, when you try to compare two-three films, to see how they seemingly respond to various wavelengths of light.
I noticed that both Ilford and Fomapan display their charts for Tungsten, while Fuji displays the chart for Acros, for daylight.
Does the difference in the actual light-type (tungsten vs daylight) influence the curve?
- does this make a comparison futile?
What values are on the actual Y-axis for Acros, it's floating, while the Foma one also has no value, but is not?
Also, how does blue-sensitivity influence the tones for Red (if, at all) ?
These charts are as funny as they seem to be varied and I am having a hard time understanding what they actually can tell me about a film, if anything.
