Readyloads in Quickload Holder

[rayn]

I am wondering if Kodak 4x5 Readyloads will work in a Fuji Quickload Holder. I know the Kodak holder is inferior to the Fuji and would like to only carry one holder.

I use Kodak Readyloads in a Polaroid holder. They work fine.

I have been told by camera store personel that Kodak doesn't work in

the Fuji holder, and vice-versa. However, Kodak is designed to work

in the Polaroid holder.

Kodak emulsions/enveloped will not work in the Fuji holder. Fuji

quickload envelopes can be used carefully and sucessfully with the

Kodak holder. My experience and rationale for my choice of holder

(Readyload) follows:

I have used Fuji Quickloads in the Kodak holder, as well as Kodak

Readyloads. I got the holder used, and once I dissasembled it and

pulled a stuck envelope clip out of the pressure plate well, I have

had zero bad exposures--no fogging, nothing.

I don't believe that the majority of people who malign the Kodak

holder are using it properly. Calumet Photographic has a good on-line

tutorial to help new users that far surpasses Kodak's included

documentation. I don't have the URL handy, but it can easily be found

using the search engine at www.calumetphoto.com.

I'm not trying to twist your arm or start an online p*ssing match

about which system works best, simply providing my experience with the

Readyload system. I believe that if you approach it properly and

thoughtfully, you'll have good results.

When I add my experience to the greater number of useful emulsions

available for Readyload (and since I use Quickload as well, I get to

keep Velvia) and the fact hat you can't go the other way (Kodak

emulsions in Quickload holder), the choice was very easy for me.

Actually if Fuji USA gets its act together, they will be selling more

emulsions in quickloads: 5 versions of E-6 (RDPIII, RDPII, RAP, RVP,

and 64T), one C-41 (NPS), and a B&W (neopan 80).

I, too, use Fuji quickloads in my Kodak Readyload holder and have had

no problems.
