    Old Type 55 Film Holders: Any Use?

    I've not kept up on the Impossible Film project. Do the old Polaroid Type 55 metal (545) holders have any use today?

    I have one that hasn't been used in a decade, and I'm wondering what to do with it.

    As of today I believe door stop or paperweight are the two options.

    I believe the New55 film uses the 545 Polaroid holders

    Yes, NEW55 film can use the Polaroid 545 or 545i. It won't work with the older 500 holder.

    You can also use the 545 holder with New55 Ready Loads: http://shop.new55.net/collections/fr...ant=1194818235

    Looks interesting. Mine's in pretty good shape; I think that I'll keep it.

    The information provided doesn't say anything about film dimensions, either of the New55 or of the pre-loaded packets?

    ???

    The film is all 4x5.

    2009 vintage polaroid 55 is still good, and another option too.
