changing viewfinders on polaroid land cameras
« on: April 27, 2012, 06:08:28 PM »
Hi everyone,

I'd like to think I'm a little more technically astute but it appears not.  can anyone step through how to swap out viewfinders on a standard type 100 land camera?  I have a standard two window model I want to replace with a zeiss finder...

thanks,

gregor

gregor, I've moved this to the main forum as it is more likely to be seen here, and it's not really an article (yet).

If a response becomes an article of sorts, I'll move it back.

hope you don't mind.

thanks Sean - I"m getting a 404 error from the link:

http://www.blank.com/faqs/faqmisc.finderswap.php

From what I've seen it's just pulling the pin on the left side of the bottom of the finder. Is that correct?

The pins on all my Polaroids are all in pretty solid and won't budge.
