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!
