new polaroid readyloads

I'm looking for information on the new kodak readyloads and kodak won't be forthcoming with the info. I have a 545 back for polaroids and fuji quickloads. I have an old style readyload holder for the older double sheet readyloads. Will the newer readyload single sheet packets work in a fuji quickload holder? I would like to carry only one holder and would like it to be a fuji holder. I'm trying to lighten my camera pack due to shoulder surgery and I'm getting older. I would appreciate any info on the subject. Thanks. James

There's been much discussion about the new Kodak Readyload single

sheets in the Fuji QL holder. First Kodak said it was okay, then they

advised against it. In my real world usage, the Kodak film works in

the Fuji holder, but a little more care must be taken when doing so.

The film is a little more prone to fogging, so having the opening of

the holder facing into a direct light source might cause an

occasional problem. Furthermore, to put it directly, the Kodak

Readyloads are wimpy compared to their beefier Fuji counterparts.

This means that there are times that you'll go to pull a sheet out of

the holder and the paper sheath comes out while the film stays in. On

the rare occasions that I use 100VS in the QL holder, I make sure to

grip the film firmly as close to the opening of the holder as

possible and pull it out with a little more care and forethought than

necessary with Fuji film. (I also think the thinner paper stock on

the Kodak film might be why the film is more prone to fogging.)
