Rollei TLR Prism Question

[rknewcomb]

Hello, Does anybody know if the vintage Rollei TLR prisms will fit on the newer Rollei GX and F, FW model cameras?
thank you!

Yes I use an old prism on the new FX. I lust for one of the new 45degree prisms however.

If you use the GX meter the view of the leds is partly obscurred but they are still visible. However in bright light it can be hard to see them. Also using the prism with the maxwell screen in the leds sort of bounce of the the bit of prism that partly obscures it and causes a slight colored haze over the screen. I personally don't use the meter so it is of no consequence to me. I did see once on ebay and old style prism with a small part of the inside front edge filed away to completely show the leds.
