I begrudgingly learned to use the old double sheet readyloads, because I travel and shoot in dry areas. Im just not that fond of T-max and prefer Tri-X. I have not had any problems with the double sheet film or holder in quite some time. My photos are also sharp. I never really understood all of the complaints. It just took a concerted effort to learn how to use them correctly, like everything else in large format.
I saw my first box of the new single sheet readyloads in Seattle last week. My fears came true. A box of 20 takes about twice as much space and seems to weig h about twice as much. I guess we have to be careful of what we wish for. On e xtended trips I will have to cut the amount of film back quite a bit because of the room it will now take in my carry on luggage. Its too bad Kodak didn't just add tri-x to the readyload line and leave everything else alone.
