Hi
My experience with instant film expands only to single sheet polaroids from decades ago.
Im thinking of getting back into using instant film, both for preview/proofing use and scrapbook-type stuff.
With Polaroid gone the way of the dodo (for now), my only option of in-production instant film is Fuji.
But this is PACK film which is new to me.
If I gets me a 550 or PA45 holder, and some packs of the Fuji Colour or BW 4x5 PACK instant film, can I change packs mid-pack, or do I have to shoot 10 shots before I can switch to a different film?
It would be nice to shoot a colour 'roid, check it out and be happy, shoot the proper neg/slide, then maybe switch to a bw 'roid and do the same.
So can I change packs mid way through, or do I need 2 separate holders - which is a bit silly.
And is the 550 / PA45 holder any thicker than a Grafmatic? I can get one of those under my ground glass, so will a 550/PA45 squeeze in there too?
Cheers
