I bought a package of expired Fuji quickload film not realizing that it needed a special holder to use. But I also have some expired Polapan Type 55 which I was considering shooting instead of selling. So I read online that you can use a Polaroid 545 PRO holder for quickload film, but can you use a regular 545 holder as well? I see them go relatively cheap and I want to spend as little as possible as I won't have a need for it after I run out of film. Or could I just cut down the quickload film and fit it into a regular holder?

edit: just realized that I don't even need to cut the film, the quickload tabs are simply glued on. oops

Stay away from the kodak holders (apparently, or maybe it's the kodak film that's dodgy?).
I use Fuji Quickloads in my 545 (non-pro, non-i) all the time, never a light leak (which is better than my real double darkslide holders, actually, but all of mine are fairly old and need fixing).

Would anyone happen to have a Polaroid 545 holder they could sell me for cheap, in that case?
