Even that first test image is pretty sharp!Never heard of it - I had to Google it! An interesting device, albeit not exactly suited for some uses such as 'street'. Presumably the resolution etc should be better than from the Fuji Instax?
I hunted around a little bit on Kickstarter. Two Hasselblad-Instax back projects were started but neither hit their funding goals. However, these guys have hacked an Instax Mini to be a back for a Hasselblad 500: https://mymodernmet.com/hasselblad-instax-hybrid/I think it's only a question of time when we are going to see commercially produced instant
backs for current instant film types and 'vintage' cameras. Your Magny 35 is certainly one
of the earliest implementations. Backs for medium format cameras with exchangeable backs
should be a lot easier to manufacture without any magnifying optics. I don't exactly need
it today so I can wait and see what evolves. If not then some business could start producing
FP-100 series compatible instant packs. This world is really changing fast and there are so
many cameras out here that need film.
On a cost perspective it's not so different with instant becaus every time I click a Velvia frame
it costs me about 2€ with processing and film.
This is just great! Love it!
