Have a Crown Graphic camera and wish to use either Fuji Quickload and Kodak readyload 4x5 film. What type of holder would you recommend? Is there one holder for two types of film?
Thanks,
Dan |

Do a forum serach here for readyload and you'll find tons of info, and opinions!
The only holder that will work with both types of film is the Polaroid 45, 545I or 545Pro holder. And it will let you use Polaroid sheet film on top of that.
Beyond that, it's Kodak's holder for their film and Fuji's holder for theirs...

I've used the Kodak holder with ready loads.
Kodak botched their entry,,,, they tried double sheet holders and it was a disaster they went through 4 different models trying not to get them to hang or fog film.
They finally went the Fuji way with single sheets.
But it was too late. Kodak's newest holder for "SINGLE SHEET READYLOADS" sells for about half of what a Fuji version does.
Which is good news for you. You can use the older holder, but get the one with the black pressure plate, or get the new one with the words "single sheet on it"
They s e l l for $15-$30 on ebay. Fuji version is $75+ used.
