Here's an article from the awesome guys from the shop FilMe:

I don't speak cantonese, but It looks quite easy, and quite amazing even tought you lose a small part of the image.

Hope yall like it.

have always wanted to try and find a way of doing instants with my rolliecord. off I go on the hunt for a plate adapter. this is great!

Man...! I didn't even know there was a plate adapter for Rolleis!!! What about shooting collodion with that thing?

You could use the black part that hasn't been exposed to write things down...

I've done this plenty of times over the years on variety of yashica TLR. It works great. I dont have any instax cameras atm. I wish someone made a dedicated back for this maybe I should hack one up....

If it wasn't that they're so expensive, the instant back for the DianaF+ would be a great candidate to start with!

Should be cake in a Century Graphic with plate holders too, yeah?

I think either a 6x9 box or folder that used plates could be fun, too, but fascinated that there was a plate back for the Rollei. Anyone ever see anything similar for other cameras?

iirc there is one for the mamiya c series TLR.

Great idea, I can't believe I haven't tried this already....
I like the translation where the darkslide is called a 'tofu knife'  :)
