Yes, you can use a Polaroid back on a 4x5 camera, but unless you want to be scrounging for film on eBay, be sure to get the sort of back that accepts 4.25 x 3.375 (image area: 3.75 x 2.875) pack film such as FP-100C or the just-discontinued FP-3000B. The full 4x5 packfilm and sheetfilm that go in the larger 4x5 Polaroid backs are no longer available fresh from anyone.
The correct back is the Fuji PA-145 or the Polaroid 405. Either will take Fuji Fp-100c instant film and will fit on most view cameras and press cameras.
Or the Fuji PA-45 back or Polaroid 550 backif you want to use the full 4x5 size Fuji/Polaroid pack film.
Just remember full size film is no longer available.
In America but japan still has it. And eBay had tons, but it certainly is more expensive, then again, more image surface area.
But certainly the PA-145 back and film is easier to come by.
I don't know about you, but i don't want to pay fifty bucks for a pack of ten sheets of film that I might not be able to get tomorrow.

At the risk of hijacking this thread a bit, how do people reliably frame shots on 4x5 with this smaller-format film? I'm about 2 packs into my 4x5 instant adventure but I frequently mis-frame: how can I add the right lines to my ground glass?
