hi all,
where are forum members getting the A-D strips from at reasonable prices?
I've seen a site but it is selling packs of 250 - I only want about half a dozen or less.

I have a couple of films that I suspect have vingar syndrome but want to be sure [Confused]

Cheers

Thanks for the link, Mark. I have little doubt when I read all the negative comments for that seller but if the post and packing are cheap (I'll check that when I come back from holidays), it may Worth a try as the item itself is cheap.

I went on the 16mm film talk forum and asked if litmus paper would do the same as A-D strips and I got this response:

"As an experiment I wanted to see what happened if I used pH test strip papers in direct contact ( for a few days ) with a very vinegar film.
The results showed NO trace of low pH ( acid ) for which the film obviously is.

Conclusion: The test strips are for liquid use only and won't work for gaseous exchange.

John S"

So the answer is NO.
