Thank you, Ray, Charles and Joachim.

Yes, this is for use in pinhole cameras, and yes, an ASA of 1 (or 3 or
6) sounds ... well, slower than molasses in the wintertime. However, the
group of students I'm working with is used to it -- last year we made
cyanotype photograms.

I do intend to make a batch of test shots, and I'll be using a meter,
but I didn't have any idea where to start with my tests.
