Uwe:
         There was an error in the conversion table I was using for
the Polaroid formats (perhaps a typo), whilst 8.3 x 10.8 cm is right
for the backs format,  (nominal 85x108mm), the format in inches is 3
1/4 x 4 1/4, not 4 1/2. Fuji still manufactures this format and then
you have available two excellent instant film for the Rollei SLR
backs:

PS: This format can't be used for cameras with SX70/land600 films type
in spite of the very slight size difference and then I guess SX70/600
films type couldn't be used for the Rollei SLR backs.
