The Kron-Cousins R band has an extended red tail which, for M stars, causes large nonlinear differences between the standard R magnitudes and those measured using IIIa-F plates, or CCDs with rectangular passband filters. Accurate zero-point calibration of the nonstandard magnitudes can be made by using cubic transformations to convert the standard magnitudes of the calibrating stars into magnitudes that are linear in the natural system. Exact inverse transformations from the natural system will provide standard magnitudes and colors for stars of most spectral types. This discussion is supplemented by a note about B and V photometry with IIIa-J and IIIa-F plates and CCD detectors.
