Many thanks for that, Alan. Don't usually run into you over here.


My pleasure. I don't post here often as I don't shoot LF. To date I've
avoided LF but I remain tempted.

I don't know if others were already aware of this story, but I wasn't.
Fascinating reading. And some very interesting whole plate comparison
examples...


After reading the article I tend to lean on the side that they're
probably not AA plates, but you never know. Also the AA foundation
seems very intent on them not being AA plates... rheotric wonder why?
/rhetoric.

Cheers,
Alan
