Spectral transmission — B+W 103 0.9 ND

While B+W calls it a “neutral” density, shooting a neutral gray card for white balance would be wise because the spectral response is not entirely neutral (totally neutral doesn’t exist for ND filters). Images tend to be slightly warm (yellow).

For visible light shooting, only the 400-650nm range is relevant below.
