Re: 4x5 film

The film type is referred to as 'quickload' or 'readyload', depending on
the manufacturer, and generally comes in b/w, color neg and color
transparency. It fits a 4x5 Polaroid back and functions similarly to
Polaroid sheets in the way the paper functions like a dark slide. It's
much more expensive than traditional sheet film, as you're paying for
the convenience. Any major supplier should carry it; try bhphoto.com in
NYC.

Enjoy and good luck,
Margaret Graham
