I use instant film quite a bit and sometimes use the fuji fp100c as final output. You can transfer the image or lift the emulsion- quite fun.
I'd say just get a fuji pa45 back and use the 4x5 fuji pack films. Try fp100b45, 3000b45, and 100c45.
Keith, that is the first Fuji holder i have seen for the smaller film. B&H, Calumet, or Freestyle don't list it as far as I can find. I was left to guess that Fuji simply made film for Polaroid's holder.
for exposure (not composition) checks, I use 'standard' FP100C (not '45') in a Polaroid 405 back. I'd like to have a go with the 4x5 instant film, but the 550 backs still seem to be not that cheap... I'd love to find a $40 550 !!
(Fuji FP100C45 fits the Polaroid 550 or Fuji PA-45 back; Fuji FP100C fits the Polaroid 405 back)
The PA-145 (smaller model) works well for checking exposure, but the image on film will be smaller than the image shown on the ground glass, so you'll have to compose accordingly.
For me it is not the price of the back, but the price of the instant film that limits me.
I figured it would be about $3.75 per shot, and I would rather compose carefully, meter carefully and bracket exposure and development times than spend that much to check my shots.
