another reason, as this is an intrepid/chamonix style field camera, they take Linhof 4x5" size boards, these are offset for the linhof technika base board configuration (two tracks, one for focus, one for wide/std/tele lens ) this is compensated for, in sinar P2 and some others by a separate zero position on the rise\fall controls.
great job, and a free lf intro video as a bonus :-)) one tip to go with her lens instructions, Always take a shot, a 'dummy' to see if the release depresses completely!, this is a great indication that the shutter focusing lever is shut, as if it wasn't the cable release would be stiff( B\T locks on the release OFF, of coarse), or only depress 1cm or so ( you NEED the button to almost touch the plastic finger guard on the release +\- a mm or so), but for correct position this is ~1 inch or so!, re-cock, then shoot, all is well, if you want a video showing what not to do, see Nick Carver's channel, he did one on the Polaroid holder (545?) and he did this, funny, but a word of caution, he swears a lot in it, so be advised, for mature audiences only!
I had one and got rid of it. Hugely inconvenient. Polaroid peel away was so much better. And Instax is just crap. So soft and ill colored. Dr. Land is spinning, I am sure.
This makes 4x5 photography SOOOO much more accessible. Practice with the instax before you drop $120 for 10 4x5 colour sheets (in canada).
Totally...and such a fun format to shoot. Having the instant is fun even if you're shooting negatives as well. Love it! Thanks for commenting.
Is there some parallax effect? Just curious, all the photos were a bit off center. Wondered if that was a stylistic choice or parallax?
The scene seen through the Lomograflok spacer and the actual Print don't match. Framing must be corrected through experience.

Need a cable release.
I would love one of these backs for my Mamiya universal press camera
Great work mate!! Many thanks for inspiration, cheers!!
