Quick loads, for the most part, are incompatible with the Kodak Readyload 
back. This has been a problem since the beginning of Quick & Ready loads. 
Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. One major problem with using 
QuickLoads in a Kodak back is that they can get caught in there. The metal 
end hangs up to where you have to disassemble the ReadyLoad holder in order 
to get the Quickload out. ReadyLoads don't work so great in the Quickload 
holder either. But both Readyloads and Quickloads work perfectly in the 
Polaroid holder. My local dealer showed me the aforementioned problems and 
I remember an article in, perhaps, View Camera magazine, explaining the 
problem(s).

I personally only use Quickloads and only use the Quickload holder.
