I just received a box of Kodak single sheet readyloads (Ektachrome VS) today an d tried them in my Fuji quickload holder. The info with the film states that the Koday Readyloads are compatible with the Kodak holder and the Polaroid 545i. I t also states that Fuji quickloads will work in the Kodak holder. So, I had to try the Kodak readyloads in my Fuji holder. The film packet goes in fine and see ms to seat properly, the protective envelope pulls out properly. After exposure, it also reseats properly, or at least appears to. However, when you push the r elease on the Fuji holder and try to withdraw the packet, it hangs up on the whi te strip at the bottom and also the metal clip. I did find it possible to remove the holder from the camera, push in on the pressure plate slightly and withdraw the packet without any mishaps. I notice that on the instructions for using, i t states "to remove the packet,squeeze and HOLD the relrease bar". Evidently, Kodak made the clip (although it looks the same) and the white strip at the bott om used to write on just slightly thicker to prevent easy use in the Fuji holder . Bummer !!!! They still work if you do not mind removing the holder from the camera and putting a slight amount of pressure on the pressure plate when removi ng the packet. Don Hall
