    Question Image size of Quickload?

    The image size of a Polaroid 52 print is slightly smaller than a regular 4x5 negative. Is a Quickload negative also smaller, or full size?

    No, In fact it's a normal 4x5 sheet glued to a leader and a "follower", put in an envelope with a metal clamp at the bottom of the holder. The Quickload holder exposes the whole sheet, I don't know about using it in a Polaroid 545 holder.

    I think it actually exposes more area on the sheet, because it doesn't have the thick "rails" of the cut film holder blocking some of the edges...

    Those dimensions are established by the Kodak holder, not the film.

    QuickLoad film in a Fuji QuickLoad holder gives actual image area of 95 mm x 121 mm. However, usable size depends on which film one uses.

    Fuji negative sheet films, color and black and white, have a hole in their corners for use with drying hooks. Those holes intrude into the image area. So, depending on exactly where a given packet ends up in the holder, 1.5 mm - 2 mm of the 95 mm width, or 2.5 mm - 3.2 mm of the 121 mm length (whichever way one decides to crop) is lost.

    Fuji transparency films have no drying hook holes and allow the full 95 mm x 121 mm to be used. Unless, of course, your lab puts hanger clip marks in the image area.
