The subject line says it all:

Will Impossible 600 film fit Polaroid CB103 back? As far as I understand Fuji FP-100 film is compatible with this back.
I'm contemplating converting a Polaroid 100b. Ideally I would want some kind of mounting frame so I could mount 4x5 holders, Grafmatic backs and a 3x4 polaroid back.
As the Fuji PA-145/Polaroid 405 holder is quite expensive I am wondering if the CB103 back could be a compromise?

Any answers appreciated.

Impossible 600 film will not work in that back. Fuji FP-100c is the only film currently being manufactured that will work in that back.

the cb103 is the upper part of a 405/pa-145, it lacks any mount. for 600 film you would want a cb70, which is very expensive and it has a major drawback: the pictures are inversed. 600 film was made to be exposed via a mirror.

I have made a conversion for a mamiya universal with a 600 film back. you will find some information here http://www.instantphoto.eu/diy/cb70_uni.htm

Previous posters have it right, 600 film is for the integral cameras...not the peel-apart like the Fuji FP100C that is still produced.
