I use FP4+ in 4x5 sheets myself, but I am looking for a more convenient
alternative even if it is more expensive. As you say, there is no
alternative from Ilford.
Can either of the Kodak and Fuji film holders take both ReadyLoads and
QuickLoads?
I suppose I should have put this question on a LF NG, although I will
discuss darkroom technique too.
Thanks for replying.

I use the Polaroid holder (545?). It costs about the same as the Fuji or
Kodak holders. The difference is that it not only works with Polaroid film
but with Fuji and Kodak film as well. One holder for all three films.

I shall check out the Polaroid holder if it takes both Kodak and Fuji,
thanks for the tip.
It seems that 100TMX and 100 Acros are the only B&W films available for this
type of system.

Have you seen this: http://www.largeformatphotography.info/holders.html ? I
found this site very useful when making my own decision about holder.
