MikeThe slug is only one of many ways to determine if it is authentic, and vintage. But for the purpose of this thread, and to all beginners and non experts, it is a good thing to learn about, and to look for, a decent way for beginners to begin, to delve into vintage photography. For an expert such as myself, and others, yes touch and feel is also a good indicator, but for beginners, touchy feely is a dangerous way to try and determine authenticity. Their inexperience may come back to haunt them. But yes, feel and clarity, and all the rest come into play. I agree.
