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
