The Kodak 18 0ray Card I have (somewhere...) is about 8" x 10", thick
cardboard, and white (95%?) on one side, which would work well as a (small)
reflector. Use the 18 0ray side with a reflected-light meter at the subject
position (or in the same light) to get an 'incidence' light reading. (Do I
get an award for most parenthesis in a post?)
