Last I heard, the Coyote back was out of production, out of stock, and no indication when it would be available again. It also cost almost three times what the Lomography Instax Wide back is listed for.

last I heard (a week ago) was that they are preparing a new batch. but there are other manufacturers as well. these are individually manufactured backs, not a lomo prepaid campaign for a relatively large production batch once, like lomo always does. sure these are more expensive. but they act as ordinary tlr backs, you get what you see immediately. no prefocussing on a special screen, then changing the screen for the back, pulling the dark slide, taking the photo, inserting the darkslide again and changing to screen another time...
and yes, I ordered a lomo back and prepaid it nevertheless.
I got my LF setup a little after Fuji discontinued peel-apart film and stocks started disappearing. So this is great. Rather than buying a polaroid back and scrounging expired film, this will let me get some level of instant feedback without investing in a dead end. The price is very good too, since you'll pay as much for a instax wide camera.
The price of the back is almost irrelevant when the choice is 10 sheets on fresh Instax Wide for $20 from the shop vs 10 sheets of expired FP-100 for $2437287349823 from some random guy on ebay.
Watch Fuji. Knowing my luck Fuji will discontinue the Instax Wide format.
I’ve read that Instax is Fuji’s biggest profit center, so hopefully not. Though, it’s probably the smaller Instax that accounts for most of that.
don't know where you buy your instax wide film, but for $20 I sometimes get a pack of 20...
they still promote their 300 camera and that's still THE model for a marriage and birthday fun camera, so I hope thex will continue this for some time. BTW: all formats are the same hight, so wide doesn't need special machines.
I note that the LomoGraflok 4x5 back now has an estimated delivery of July '21, rather than April '21.
