    Will Polaroid 545 or other instant film back fit into a Canham 4x5 Traditional?

    Does anyone know if the Polaroid holder will clear the Canham 4x5 wood back?

    I own a Canham wood 4x5 / 5x7. I don't have a Polaroid holder, but if I recall correctly, they're a bit bulky at the top.

    ... or, can anyone recommend to me an alternate to the 545, perhaps one of the Fuji instant holders? Thanks.

    Unless you want to use Polaroid for art: it's no longer made and they are asking $$$$$ for what's left over.
    Fuji isn't that cheap either, try a digi if you can as a replacement for Polaroid.

    Both Fuji and Polaroid holders will fit.

    Polaroid 405 (3 1/4"x4 1/4") & 550 (4"x5") holders for Fuji instant products. The Polaroid 545 won't accept the Fuji pack film.

    But the 545 will accept the Fuji Acros Quickloads.
