Pretty interesting rig! And I like the idea of recycling old Polaroids. In the sample pics from Havana, it looks like the Ysarex lens doesn't cover so well at wider apertures.
Like others I suppose, I look at this camer and wonder how it would fit in my work-style. It would have to satisfy some use unmet by roll-film RFs like the big Fujis... Hmmm...

I am actually looking at it and trying to figure out "how will it fit my budget", expensive rig.
I will however try the film, I have a 4x5 with a polaroid holder.

My first 4x5 was a 'badgered together' Polaroid 95B with a Grafloc back and a 135mm Speed Graphic lens.
Think of an Olympus Trip, which outputs 4x5 tranny/neg!
...or...
A travel photographer's LF camera.
These camera are popular with fashion and high-end portrait photographers, has they can be handheld and offer a degree of spontaneity that can't be achieved with a regular LF camera.
Also a couple of pro landscape photographers are finding them good due to there small size and weight when compared with a VPan, Field or View cameras.
