It concerns one 35mm film strip with three frames. See here for a detailed step-by-step guide on how to use the Vlads Test Targets.

Take the guesswork out of your camera scanning or dedicated film scanner setup with Vlads Test Targets. This package contains a precision-exposed 3-frame 35mm film strip of ultra-high-resolution film designed specifically to help analog photographers measure, calibrate, and maximize the performance of their film digitization hardware. If you are fine-tuning a macro lens on a mirrorless camera rig or validating the true optical resolution of a flatbed or dedicated film scanner, this target acts as an unyielding reference standard.

The target is exposed onto ultra-fine-grain micro-film (Adox CMS 20), capable of resolving detail far beyond the capabilities of consumer scanners or standard camera lenses. The frame layout integrates classic USAF 1951 resolution test patterns, star targets for detecting astigmatism and vibration, fine line grids to check for geometric distortion, and smooth continuous gradients to evaluate sensor dynamic range and tone reproduction. By scanning these patterns, you can instantly see where your setup loses sharpness, identify alignment flaws, and find the absolute "sweet spot" aperture of your copying lens.

This 3-frame strip format is ideal for testing edge-to-edge flatness across the entire 35mm film carrier and is the best choice for calibrating the Valoi 360 system when using the 35mm Film Holder or older slide duplicators from brands like Nikon and Canon. By checking the resolution arrays positioned at both the center and the extreme corners of the frame, you can ensure your film holder is holding the film perfectly flat and parallel to your camera sensor. It is a vital diagnostic tool for any photographer serious about extracting every line of resolution from their physical negatives into the digital space.
