Default large format instax back

I have just ordered a Lomography LomoGraflok 4x5 Instant Back from Bristol Cameras today it takes instax wide and should be fun to use ,as I like playing about with instax and I am recovering from Pleurisy so I needed something to cheer me up .Has anybody here owned or used one ,Looking forward to playing with it .I will let you know how I get on with it .

I've used it on a Chamonix F1 with a reflex viewer. So far I've only used the black and white film and the results have been disappointing for landscape shots but this is purely down to a lack of testing to determine exposure latitude and whether filters (polariser, graduated or contrast) will help. I certainly got a very odd result with a red filter.

I've been looking at a Silvestri pouch for protection and dust proofing as I already have one for my Sinar Zoom 2 120 film back - it should just fit in with the focusing mask. Trouble is that Silvestri in Italy don't have them in stock and neither do LinhofStudio here in the UK.

Thanks for your experience Paul - it does look interesting.

My 4x5s have been sitting unused for a couple of years now - I need to get them dusted off!

Thanks for posting - very interesting and I quite like the 'not too over the top' colours.
