But you had a good time anyway... right?
Were the Provia duds clear film or black?
It is easy to put the Quickloads in backwards. I've done it many times. You
usually know when you do this as when using a Fuji Quickload holder, the
Quickload envelope comes all the way out, and off. There is no stop when in
backwards. I don't know if they will stop in a Polaroid holder however...
I've learned (the hard way) to look for the "this side toward lens" notice.
It should be in RED.
