Gray cards are NOT interchangeable

Good to know: Gray cards are NOT interchangeable! So, accordingly to video below, "18 % gray cards" (grey cards) are used to measure exposure AND "white balance gray cards" are for custom white balance. They are not interchangeable.

I found out the same thing from Lee Varis, and quickly got a modern digital one that worked for white balance as well: My blog on WB cards
