ABSTRACT:
A focus detection apparatus provided with a reimaging optical system for forming a pair of secondary objective images capable of changing the relative positions with each other, an iris member having a pair of apertures for controlling the light beam passing through the reimaging optical system, and a condenser lens for projecting the apertures of the iris member onto the exit pupil of the photographing lens. The reimaging optical system is structured by an optical member having the optical axis which is different from the optical axis of the photographing lens in a space between the iris member and the condenser lens, and further, the two apertures which are paired on the iris member have circular arc portions respectively at the furthest positions from the optical axis of the photographing lens, and the centers of the two circular arcs are arranged to be different from each other.
