Check this out: A Leicaroid!

I have a pro back for my Nikon F4. Payed about 25 buck for it. It's not worth much more than that. Wouldn't want to ruin a nice M6 to have Polaroids in neg. size. At least it's easy to change on the F4.
 
I converted a Polaroid 110-B to take pack film like 30 years ago. The plastic back ios cracked and needs replacement. This was a fairly common, and simple, conversion years ago. A lot of the 110, 110-A and 110-B cameras were converted. The rangefinder is easy to align for the difference in focal plane and the 4 element 127mm Rodenstock lens is a real honey. But convert a Leica? It makes to sense. I think that I paid about $10 for the camera at a yard sale and really bought it just for the lens. The earier models came with a 4 element Wollensack lens.
 
In the 80s these NPC were pretty much required for corporate annual report shooters and very expensive, I had a FM dedicated to one. Some absurd set-ups would use dozens of Polaroids (two per sheet - you pull the film partially out to make the second exposure) and the Art Director and I would use a loupe to view the fuzy contact size Polaroids.
