I used my digital SLR camera light meter to measure rear windows light transmission with (bare, no film) just privacy glass, looks to be blocking about 50% of visible light...That sound correct?
thanks

Yes, privacy glass is factory tint - it’s darkened glass instead of a film. 50% is probably accurate - I’d trust your light meter.
