Andy......
Andy, just to clarify, the voigtlander Rangefinder does not take ferrotype plates. It uses the regular 35mm film...

I always thought that the plates were tintype black.They have been shield emulsion, expose and take a negative.The process is bleached with mercuric chloride for imaging. With white on black background of the picture is reversed seem favourable.Hard chrome would be too expensive and difficult both to use as a plate tintype process was that it was cheap and the plates are quick.If polished chrome,so I think it is more likely to be plates.These polished plates of glass used to give glass-like finish on photographic paper.

Depends on the use to which they're going to be put, I guess
If for drying prints, they appear to be available in the US
