Also I&#8217;m assuming its a Petzval, no marks on the barrel to provide any further info. Front elements look like two glued pieces and rear elements are two air spaced pieces. So may well be, so hoping for some swirls when we get the wet plate going.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE:<\/p>\n<p>Well do you think I could get any 2mm plywood locally, could I heck.
