One additional point about using readyloads in Polaroid holder, or even using polaroid films in it, for that matter. You will be more sure that the film is seated properly if you take the holder out of the camera and load it while looking at it, then putting it back. It has a frustrating habit of not hooking right some of the time, leaving you with an unexposed film. The old kodak readyload holders are notorious for that, and have a satanic knack for falling to pieces at just the moment you need them most. hope the new one is better.

  The fact that you use readyloads in a polaoid back is entirely coincidental to the outcome. Polaroid type 55, exposed at ISO 25, will give you excellenmt B&W negatives. The new Kodak single sheet readyloads should work well also. The image size of the polaroid holder is a trifel smaller than the regular holder, but that's a minor point.

    Can anyone give me advice on using sheet film in a polaroid 545 back on a pinhole camera? Results with different films etc. Thanks, Terry
