Has anyone tried this? I know that this may sound crazy, but Fuji Quickload system is really good except one thing; The only available B&W film is Acros 100.
Ok, I like Acros 100 and use it a lot. But I also use many other films.
The construction of the Quickload envelope is quite simple, so that made me thinking that why on earth should I throw away those envelopes instead of reusing them?
They have so many advantages over traditional 4x5 film holders. Perhaps the greatest one is ability to made notes for individual sheet and keep track of sheets during long trips without hussling with writing notes that tells what order exposed negatives are in the boxes and which of them was exposed on which holder and what kind of development I was planning etc... Not mentioning binary style encoding of sheets by cutting corners.
The biggest question mark is the clip that holds keeps envelope closed when it is not in the Quickload holder. But I guess that it should work properly even after envelope is reloaded with new unexposed negative taped to the leader and trailing pieces.
What do you think?
I think that I am enough propeller head to try this! :D
