ABSTRACT:
A mirror relex camera having a single objective and a horizontal optical axis passing through the objective. A viewer system consisting of a focusing screen, a field lens, a pentaprism and an eyepiece is located sequentially along the optical axis. A fully specular concave mirror ground on the lower edge of the exit surface of the pentaprism projects an image of an object to be photographed from the picture-taking objective of the mirror reflex camera through the pentaprism onto a grating acting as a spatial frequency filter which is followed by a photoelectric detector system. The grating is located in the focal plane of the concave mirror. An optical wedge (13) defining a measuring spot of the viewer is provided in the plane of the focusing screen and deflects one part (14) of the viewer beam so that in the vicinity of the eyepiece (6) of the viewer (in the vicinity of the concave mirror (7c) two mutually vertically offset and overlapping pupil images (AP', AP") are generated. The first pupil image (AP') is central with respect to the eyepiece (6) sight and is generated by the object field light, while the second pupil image (AP") is generated by the measuring spot light.
