On using the Lomograflok with large format cameras

I’ve written this article for Graflex Journal on my experience so far using Instax wide film in a Lomograflok back on Graflex cameras. It may be of use for any 4x5 camera With a Graflok back.

Thanks for this valuable contribution. I have been wondering about one of these backs. I have a couple Crown Graphics, with rangefinders, I used to shoot Polaroid peel apart film. This is something I'm going to look at.

I've got one, bought a Graflok conversion for my Anniversary Speed Graphic to be able to use it, and because the lens I calibrated the RF for doesn't have a shutter, I use it with the focal plane shutter.

Works very well with the infinity stops set back for the film offset -- I need to get/make a mask for my viewfinder and then this will be a top notch instant camera, with parts ranging from 1940-ish to 2021. A little bigger than a Polaroid 110, but I can still buy film, too...
