<PRE>Hello Cleavis,I saw your message concerning using fuji 4x5 sheet film with 
your polaroid film holder. I was going to do the same thing but I very 
quickly discoverd that the ploaroid holder does not hold any ready load film 
really flat. For that reason I bought the Kodak film holder and that holds 
ready load film flatter then even the fuji ready load film holder. I hope 
that this helps, yes the polaroid will work but it sucks for film flatness. 
Regards Steve

Paul Butzi made a detailed report on all the quickload holders:

http://www.butzi.net/reviews/readyquick.htm

Can't get into it at this moment but AFAIK it says that it works but the
Quickload sheet is a bit thinner so there may be a focusing problem (the
last wasn't written in the article) and it will not be perfectly aligned as
it is in the Fuji holder.
