polaroid 545 land back and quickload compatability

Recommended Posts

Hi I've read a lot of posts on Photo.net concerning 545 polaroid

backs and compatability with quickloads.

 

One thing I noticed was that all the posts that specified a back

specified either the 545 i or the 545 pro. Nobody really commented

on the use of the older 545 land backs wrt this use.

 

Can anybody make an experienced and judged comment about this use?

I have the older 545 polaroid back. I contacted Fuji to insure that their film would fit into my back. They said it would so I ordered it.

 

I got the FP-3999B45 4x5 sheet film; just as they suggested.

 

It didn't fit at all. I ended up with a box of (to me) worthless pack film. Of course the package was ripped open before I knew it was wrong.

 

From now on it's the safe route for me. Polaroid Back? Get polaroid film! Spending a little more for what works is a lot cheaper than spending less for what doesn't.
