The WillTravel Instantly is a shorter version of the standard WillTravel 4×5 camera. It´s 19.5mm shorter, which is the same height as the Lomograflock Instax wide spacer used to focus the Lomograflock back as its filmplane is 19.5mm further back than the regular 5mm (4.8) filmplane in filmholders and rollfilmholders.

Basic instructions for using a large format view camera.

Focusing

Focusing is done using either a zone focus scale on the camera. Turn the golden dot on the M65 helicoid to the required focus distance. Instructions on how to set up a zone focus scale. Or use the basic large format method. Camera on tripod, open up the shutter with the open / close (Black knob at 3 clock on the shutter face below), full open apeture, dark cloth over camera, focus and compose using the image on the ground glass whilst changing focus distance by turning the M65 helicoid.

Use with the Lomograflock Instax Wide Back

In order to avoid the bungeecord and get a more rigid attachment of the WillTravel Instanly camera body a experimental setup has been designed used square washers and fasting with M3 screws. This will clamp the back securely to the camera body for handheld shooting and ising the zone focus scal to set the distance.

Mount the washers and M3 screws as shown.
Insert Lomograflock back and just tighten the screws, Dont tighten hard!
