In spite of the lower S/N and smaller dynamic range of photographic plates compared to those of CCD data, Schmidt plates still have the advantage of a large field of view, which allows us to study the structure of nearby large galaxies and clusters of galaxies. Investigating the internal and external errors of our surface photometry, we show that a careful analysis of photographic plates results in reliable surface photometry data comparable to CCD data for galaxies brighter than ∼ 17 mag. Recent studies based on photographic surface photometry catalogues obtained from Kiso Schmidt plates are reviewed and it can be shown that surface photometry of galaxies on Schmidt plates is still useful for understanding the local universe.
