Recently purchased a crown graphic with grafloc back and was wondering which polaroid film holder would work. I have read that the 545i is the best because it will take all the prepacked film (Quickloads/Readyloads?). Would the 545 work just as well. They seem to be more available and cheaper.

It's been a couple of years since I saw a 545i but the last time I handled one the only difference I saw was a bigger price tag and more plastic.

Polaroid says that 545s that are more than 5 years old can get out of alignment and should be overhauled or replaced. Polaroid is also bankrupt and needs all the cash it can get it's hands on. If never had any problems with either of my 545s.
