Question about Polaroid 195/360 viewfinder swap.
« on: April 20, 2011, 12:14:32 AM »
Hi everyone-
New on this forum but had a question: I have a Polaroid 195 and a Polaroid 360. The viewfinder on the
360 is a Zeiss with a very clear bright view. The 195 has the dual windows and is very hard to see
through/focus. Does anyone know if I can swap the two and if so, how (very specifically). It looks
like there's a tension spring that might be the answer but I can't seem to figure out how to remove
it.
Thanks in advance.

It's easy to do, but hard to describe. There are a couple tutorials via google. It does require some needle nose pliers and a hammer (or screwdriver butt).
