Are coated glass plates still available? Anywhere on the planet? (this planet!) I thought that T-Max was until recently, but probably not in any of the formats I use (WP. 7x11 10x12). Thoughts?

When I was 16 I thought my father the stupidest man in the world; when I reached 21, I was astounded by how much he had learned in just 5 years!

TMX was a catalog item in 4x5 plates, though they were frightfully expensive.

- are often mentioned as a possible source of plates for general pictorial use, though the listing on the site is oriented to holographic use.

Bring the big money bag.
The Surplus Shed had some glass plates, IIRC.

I have an excellent Folmer Graflex 11X14 double sided wood glass film holder with two sheets of glass in it and they are pristine. I've kept it as a back up in case of a world wide abandonment of film. So far so good but your never know about these things. It could come in handy!!
$39.00 for 10? That's only $3.90 per plate, 9.5" square. There's a lot of black and white film which costs more than that.
