Let's say I want to try a new film holder system for 4x5 B&W and am wondering wh ich one to get.
I've been happily using traditional, 2-sided film holders for years but lately I 've wondered if I'm missing something by not using one of the various Readyload, Quickload or Polaroid type holders. My impression is that there are weight and space savings to be had, along with less dust in some of the prepackaged systems .
I have searched the archives of this site and read the recent article in View Ca mera magazine but I don't perceive a consenus as to which one is the best, most reliable or at least the most popular.
Check my logic: The Fuji "Quick Change" and the Polaroid 545 would allow me to u se any kind of film but must be loaded by me (risk of dust). The Kodak Readyload and the Fuji "Quickload" use prepackaged film (less dust?) but have limited fil m options, i.e. T-Max 100 but no Tri-x, making these last two holders less appea ling.
Anyone have strong opinions between the Quick Change and the Polaroid holders or , for that matter, the preloaded options? Thanks.
