There is SDSS photometry for both stars (the SDSS telescope
is 2.5-m aperture). SDSS DR9 shows that the photomtery is
'clean' (they think it's reliable) for the companion of
OT J213806.6+261957:
filter mag unc
u 16.828 0.008
g 15.484 0.003
r 14.987 0.003
i 14.839 0.003
z 14.757 0.004
...I'd take the nominal errors with a grain of salt,
and multiply by pi or some other number depending on
how skeptical you are.
For the companion to HS 2214+2845, the values are
similarly:
u 18.343 0.017
g 17.268 0.005
r 16.873 0.004
i 16.708 0.005
z 16.611 0.010
There are formulae to transform these figures to
UBVRI, but I find you can get very close to Johnson V
(within a couple percent) just from: V = (g+r)/2.
