    Obsolete Polaroid 545 Pro Holder?

    Its a shame Polaroid no longer makes instant 4x5 sheet films, and I'm sure many agree and even quietly hope they or someone else will bring back type 55.

    Nevertheless, I have their 545 Pro Holder for their now defunct 4x5 films.

    Are there any current uses for this Polaroid 545 Pro Holder - aside from using it with the Polaroid old stock being price gouged on the internet?

    Wait for the new stock
    Seriously: the impossible project seems to make some progress, so I wouldn't give up *all* hopes yet...

    The "impossible project" wants to revive integral film - that won't ever make 545es useful again...

    The 545 can hold Quickloads (whether its planarity in that capacity is better or worse than that of original Readyload and Quickload holders is a matter of religious debates hereabouts), and Fuji still make some two or three films in Quickload.

    Use it as a picture frame...

    If you need to use it in future, take the picture out...

    Makes a great door stop if you jam it underneath the door.

    How about a wheel chock?

    Or, a bread and cheese serving board?
