Has anybody tried these AD Strips to test their films with?

There’s a video on the link explaining how it works.

I've used them. A lot of archives used AD strips to test their films.

If you have any films you aren't sure whether they have VS or not, these will let you know.

I was gifted quite a number of these strips for free (long story...)
They're still sitting here practically unused since I collect mostly polyester films. If you want to try them out, I'll be happy to send a couple strips to you for just the cost of postage. [Smile]
