This presentation addressed some aspects of photometric standardisation and calibration that have a very significant effect on the accuracy of long time-baseline photometry. The difficulties were illustrated by examples of combinations of vintage photographic magnitudes with photomultiplier and CCD photometry, and with photometry from space. The case studies involved variability on time-scales of hours, years, decades and centuries. The examples went beyond classical problems of combining incongruent and ambiguous passbands, non-linear detectors and poor standardisation.
