Don,
Try ISO 6 as a starting point. This is what I use in my pinhole photography
and it gives generally good results.
But if you want to test the lightproofness of your bellows, you might as well
leave it much longer, and rotate it in the sun, sometimes you get leaks to come
up unexpectedly this way. And, oh! Don't forget to put a pencil mark on the
paper to remember which side is up or down, left or right. It'll save you
having to redo the test if you have a light leak, as I had to do myself on
another camera...

Anyone

I'll be
