Long before there was digital, polaroid backs were very common amongst professionals to check exposure, lighting ratios and setups. Ones for the Hasselblad 500 series can still be found on Ebay for around $100 or so.
They have little use today and are mostly for collectors I guess. I use my D700 to check exposure and lights nowadays before I commit light to film. It is cheating, I know, but the days of that old adage "film is cheap" is no longer true and nothing can tank your rep quicker than a shoot that has to be redone because you messed up the exposure.

Yes, back then in film days these are useful and expensive parts!
Got one on a Nikon camera from the fleamarket, and I think I sold the polaroid back for ~200 DM - to a reseller as far as I remember. This is now only 100 Euro, but back then much money.
Marty Forscher, the inventor of these backs, seems to be a unique camera repair person.
In case I remember correct, he was "the" repair person for the Vietnam or WW2. He bought every interessting camera for the war photographers, disassembled it to the smallest part, throw all parts from one camera in a bag and shake this, and reassembled the camera.
After this process he decided which camera he could recommend for the photographers.
And he could reassemble a Leica in total darkness.
This are my memories what I read in a big war photography book about him.
