Image size for 545i Folm Holder

Hi All,

I know that Polaroid instant film produces an image size that is slightly

smaller than 4x5 in an 545 back, but I was curious about the image size when

using Quickloads in the 545i back.

Is the image size determined by the 545i holder or the film?

Put another way, will I get a 4x5 image on Quickloads or the same slightly

smaller image that Polaroid film produces?

Thanks.

IINM, <I>all</I> 4x5 images are smaller than the film. :o)

I haven't measured the images from my 545 back, vs regular film holders, but they're nominally the same. The film size in Quickload/Readyload is the same as loose 4x5 sheets, and the borders are similar. I assume that the image size is the size of the opening in the holder, unless the camera obscures part of it.

Alan,

Thanks for the fast reply. Polaroid film produces an image size of 3.5 x 4.6 inches, which is somewhat smaller than the image produced with self loaded film (that film seems to produce an image size that is almost the entire film size) but I know this is based on the film holder, not the film.

My question more specifically is whether it is the Polaroid film or the Polaroid film holder that makes the image so small. If it is the film, my question is whether or not a Fuji Quickload would give me an image size closer to a self loaded piece of film when used in the 545i holder.

Thanks again.
