$7 !, damn last time I priced a step gauge I was quoted some exorbitant 
number like AU$150. I'm pretty sure me and the sales guy on the phone 
were talking about the same thing.
I have to agree , for $7 my method isn't worth the trouble.
I found that site you mentioned http://www.stouffer.net
Wow, they make many dozens of these gauges.
Did you  get the uncalibrated 21 step transmisive guide (part # T2115) 
$6.10 ?
I think that probably best all round choice, even though 21 steps is 
probably more than needed.
If they send it in a standard envelope then I guess postage worldwide 
would be cheap too.
