[rollei_list] Re: My switch to the SL66

No, I adapted them.
I don't have to remove and insert the dark slide very often but it is very easy. Push the viewfinder release buttons, lift the finder, and then remove or insert the slide. My cameras live on a tripod so it's very simple.
I looked at adapting them to rotate but that would be a LOT of work and, frankly, not worth the effort. The problem with the Rollei prism is that it does not focus, and it doesn't contain a meter. Hassy meter prisms have a center weighted integrated meter, a spot meter, and an incident meter. The meter is very useful for determining bellows extension and filter factors. 

These prisms, on an SL66, are very cool!

Jim:

Did Harry Fleenor adapt your Hassy finders as well?

Can you pull the dark slides on your backs with the finder attached?
The Rollei prism finder rotates so you can do this.

Cheers
