No! You need a 4x5 pack film holder but good luck finding one, they're on backorder everywhere.

There is NO instant film currently made that will fit your holder, however you could use some quickload packets of film (from Fuji) for non-instant negatives.

All the 4x5 format Instant films currently made (by Fuji) are in 10 exposure "pack" form and require the Pack film holder from Fuji or a used Polaroid Pack film holder.

Thanks all for the help.

so that won't fit. Then i wil lhave to search for pola for the time being. Pitty they have stopped making it !!

I also found a 405 holder for the smaller, and MUCH more cheaper films. Can i use this holder also for the fuji packs ??

Thanks

In the Polaroid 405 holder, you can use the smaller 3 1/4x4 1/4 Fuji packs. They produce image roughly 72x92mm. They are labeled as Fuji FP-100c (color one), Fuji FP-100b (black&white), FP-400b (BW, available in Japan only, or through MegaPearls), FP-3000b (this is ISO 3000 speed bw film).

I've just recently acquired the Fuji PA-145 holder and have shot first 18 pictures, and it's wonderful. My brother is using the Polaroid 405 holder and is similarly happy (after some initial difficulties).

Alex, What type of Polaroid 4x5 sheet film are you looking to shoot in your 545 holder. I might have some.

Alex, have a look at this thread (http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?t=40111), in short, we found out that he was pulling the white tab through the wrong opening.

Will, here's a sample :

This happens when using old film ( which i like very much !!)
I don't know if it's allowed to post such big sample's over here ?

this one was made with the zero image 4x5 inch polaroid at 50 mm

http://upload.pbase.com/image/102649151/original.jpg

This one with a filmback on the zero image with film from 2000 at 25 mm ( i love that wide-angle look)

Nothing special, these were just testshots
