Ground glass adapter for a LomoGraflok Instant film back. The ground glass spacer the Lomograflok comes with is a plastic piece that is supposed to position the existing ground glass on the same plane as the film back. However the image area and the positioning aren't perfect so the picture may be out of focus and the full frame aren't captured. This adapter is made to show the exact image area and positions a built in ground glass perfectly, so no need for the original ground glass at all. #skgrimes #graflok #lomograflok https://www.instagram.com/p/CgwpJKwONDO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yesterday was taken partly by experimenting with our new @lomography Instax wide back! It’s lots of fun and instant results from a 5x4 are harder to come by these days. We look forward to using it for various projects we have on our shelves! Curiously our subject of choice “Ocean Floor” was celebrating it’s second birthday reminded to us by Facebook! . . . . . #graflok #graflokback #lomograflok @fujifilmuk #fujiinstaxwide #instaxwide #instax #lomography #oceanfloor #5x4 #4x5 #toyo45cx #largeformat #monorail #instantfilm #shootfilm #notquite5x4 #photooftheday #instaphoto (at Margate, Kent) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW-iZH1oENq/?utm_medium=tumblr

Cambo Reflex viewing hood adapted to attach to a 4x5 Graflok back. The hood keeps its rotation function and snaps in place of the viewing door. #skgrimes #graflok #cambo https://www.instagram.com/p/B3csTxuArv8/?igshid=1oyl41rcfmx9t

Problem solved.

Well not really. Problem Worked around!

I decided I was just going to make a ground glass that was 6.8mm away from the graflok back to match my polaroid back. BAM. Problem solved!

The only issue was that the total cost of materials was about 90 bucks. $25 more and I could have ordered a proper working polaroid back without needing to make this ground glass. (I also kicked my laptop LCD with a bit of glass.

So in short this was not practical. But it was a good experience.

Anyways tomorrow I'm taking the camera out to see how accurate I made my matching pair. I'll post a few photos tomorrow night.
