Amazing. What's the cheapest way for me to try this?

Depends on what you want to try. The SWC and Polaroid back are going to cost you a pretty penny. You'd probably want to shoot boring old regular negatives with the SWC anyway ;)

As far as shooting the FP3000C film, you're going to have to find a camera that accepts pack film. A Speed Graphic with the right back will get you there. Pretty much every 4x5 camera will get you there. In terms of Medium format, I am not as sure. The Polaroid 600 SE can do it.

I think the best idea is the Mamiya Press. They're very inexpensive, have lots of great lenses, lots of different film backs to use. There's even a guy on ebay who fit an Instax Wide back to one :).

That SWC looks more temping by the day.

If you want to adapt something to use Instax with another camera, take a look at the Lomography backs for the Belair (Instax Wide) or LC-A (Instax Mini).This winter I'm going to have fun with one of those.

Another guy adapted an Instax Wide belair back to fit on the Mamiya Press. This is a really cool combo!

There's also a guy who tried to fit the Holga Instax mini back onto his Hassy 500CM but it looks like it didn't work out.

I like the idea of taking one of those instax Mini cameras and hacking it and leaving the electronics in it. This way after you shoot the frame, you click a button and the photo comes out.
