ABSTRACT:
A variable magnification finder optical system is constructed independent of a photographic optical system, and includes an objective optical system of positive refracting power, a field frame, and an eyepiece optical system of positive refracting power. The objective optical system has a variable magnification lens unit for changing the field angle of the variable magnification finder optical system in accordance with a change of the field angle of the photographic optical system and a fixed lens unit, which can be replaced with another fixed lens unit for changing over the finder magnification. Thus, this finder optical system allows the photography of an object with a field image, easy for observation, coordinated with that of the photographic optical system.
