Well .. ..what I know is that the term "large Format" is currently takern to mean that the sensitive medium is at 34x5 inches or larger with
"Ultra-Large Format" meaning anything larger than 8x10 inches.

The term "Wet Plate" refers to aphotographic process where a substrate is coated with collodion and sensitized, then exposed in a camera while the plate is still moist and iommediatly processed into a negative.

A "Wet Plate" can be any size. In the past, many were somewhat smaller than 4x5 inche, quatrter plates for examples, Today most are at least 4x5 with larger formats being more common. This is because most wet plate photographers will contact print their images.

I welcome any additions or corrections.

cheers
