ABSTRACT:
An automatic rangefinding optical system for a camera includes optics conted for movement subject to the operative zooming main lens. The rangefinding system has an automatic focusing device which generates a pulse when separate objective images from two optical system paths coincide. Zooming the rangefinder along the two optical system paths gives more precise automatic focusing of the subject by optically modifying the objective images according to the zoom position of the main lens.
