Kodak Readyloads in Polaroid 545i?

[Josef]

I just picked up a bunch of outdated Kodak Readyload film and would like to know if it will work in a Polaroid 545i back?

I'm shooting a Littman 45 Single.

Thanks!

Yes, they will. I have heard the Polaroid gate is a little smaller and some have complained that film flatness is not perfect, but the Kodak instructions says it is fine. The level always stays in the load position. Manually press the release bar to remove the film packet.

Thanks!
So loading, shooting, and removing film is similar to say Polaroid Type 55?

You just never engage the processing rollers. Instead of flipping the lever to the processing position, press the release bar to release the packet.

I do the same thing when shooting Polaroid Type 55/59 film but want to develop at another time.

Thanks again!
