  If you are only using it to prevent stray
light from the right lens striking the left
film chip (and vice versa) then it doesn't
have to be perfect. Just 4 or 5 stops down
from the scene light striking the film chips.

  Now....if you are going to use it for your
whole bellows, then I'll agree that testin
is in order.
