After looking at pictures taken with 'flipped' simple lenses, I'd like to try this with my Tourist 12.5. With a fixed focus and 6x9 negative I think this could be interesting.

The rear, single element, mounted behind the shutter is the real lens on this thing but I can't see how I can remove it to make the change. There is no sign of any leverage points or indentations for tools and while this is not an expensive camera, I'd like not to bugger the job.

How do I do this and do I need a special tool?

Any help is appreciated; Cheers.
