The 545i uses sheet film, you'd need the 550 for Fuji instant pack film.

I think the answer is "no"... and as stated, the 550 back is what will work.

Yep, that's it...the 550. I thought it was a 505, but that's me getting confused with the 405 holder.

They only make pack film.

You can use Fuji quickloads in the 545 back if you want to experiment with regular 4x5 film.

I got that one wrong! I thought 4x5 Fuji instant film was sheet film, not pack film. No wonder you need a different back! Good luck. Skj.
