Not sure of your exact use, but I bought a Kodak "Projection Print Scale"
that has 10 pie-shaped wedges (in a circle) of various densities from
fairly black to colorless. Not calibrated. Great for what we wanted - a
range of overexposed to underexposed for contact prints. $9.70 from a
photo supply store.
Catalog 155 7248.
