It seems that you can use Wratten #23 and #58 for Photometry and get better then 0.1 magnitude results when those filters are combined with IR blocking filter. I will try it when the clouds clear. Proper Photometry filters are financially beyond my reach.
Another interesting webside is Photometry for dummies http://brucegary.net/dummies/x.htm

please post your results when you get around to testing..this is very interesting and a much more affordable option now that the price of even the V filter has gone up so much
