    Just ordered your New Half Plate (4 3/4" x 6 1/2") ASA 2 on Etsy

    Btw there are three different half plate sizes that I’ve run across while making dry plates.

    114 x 164mm, 120x164mm, and something like 114 x 140mm. I’ve cut and coated them all for customers, but the 114 / 120 x 164 is the most common (my stock dry plate size is 113mm x 164mm)

    To Mark’s (old) comment above, 4.25x5.5 is half a standard Letter size (8 1/2” x 11”) sheet.
