How have you found focus and framing accuracy to be with the Instax back? I'm planning on picking one up for my Speed Graphic to use with various high speed lenses (Kodak Aero Ektar etc.) and I hope it's up to the task.

Heh, well, that was the main reason it took over a year for me to get around to doing any serious damage with it. The focus was out originally and my graflok is slightly broken so it took some fettling and frequent checking with a vernier to ensure that everything was indeed lined up. Now it seems to be better, but I'm sticking to f8-f22. Instax is approximately ISO 800-1000 so finding a high enough shutter speed to use wide open with a high speed lens will inevitably make focus crazy critical. Framing is fine, the adapter handles that.
