[LargeFormat] Rome and Stieglitz

[Brock Nanson]

Well, of all the comments prompted by this question, this answer interests
me the most.  Lexan, rather than plexiglas.  The link doesn't answer the
question posted by the first poster (he doesn't give away his secrets), but
there were some interesting responses.  I'm intrigued by the idea that the
lexan might actually be brighter than the standard glass!

Is there a standard thickness for ground glass?  Since it's the ground side
that counts position-wise, I don't see why it needs to be thin.  Comments?
Maybe we need to buy a sheet and chop it up.  The we could send everyone a
slab with that old speed graphic manual that's making the rounds ;-)
