Results are presented of an imaging study of eight Sb-Sc spirals, based on CCD observations in the B, V, R, I, and Z photometric filters. Presented are grey scale images, both in individual bands and in color indices, isophote maps, the parameters of the best fits to the isophotes (ellipticity and position angle as functions of deprojected radius), and radial profiles in the passbands. The paper explains how the radial intensity profiles of these galaxies are naturally divisible into inner bulge, outer disk, and an intermediate zone, and it is shown how the color index images can aid in the diagnostics of reddening effects due to older or more metallic stellar population on the one hand, and dust on the other. The data are presented with a view to facilitating the task of dynamically reliable bulge-disk decomposition.
