Faint structures are detected for three planetary nebulae: A 2, M1-75 and IC 289, using narrow-band imagery performed at the 3.60 m CFHT with interference filters (FWHM from 4.7 to 10 Å), centred at the Hα, Hβ, [N II] 6583, [O III] 5007, He II 4686 emission lines. These outer envelopes could result from a multiple-shell formation process, owing to repeated material ejections by the central stars. Absolute fluxes are given within 20% accuracy for various wavelengths as well as estimates of the ionized mass which would correspond to the total mass since, according to Seaton (1966), planetaries with Rn > 0.1 pc should be optically thin.
