ABSTRACT:
A photographic camera apparatus of the non-collapsible type suitable for use with self-developing film units is additionally provided with a single lens reflex capability for through the lens viewing and focusing. The physical size of the non-collapsible camera apparatus is minimized by providing a compact spacing between the various camera components. Toward this end, the camera viewfinder is arranged to define a folded optical axis which lies on a plane substantially parallel to the camera film plane. In addition the camera includes a reflex reflecting component which is arranged to pivot about an axis parallel to the film plane and viewfinder thus providing a compact side-by-side relationship between the viewfinder, reflex member and film plane. Also, the viewfinder, film plane and reflex member are all arranged in substantially orthogonal relationship to the base portion of the camera apparatus housing in order to further compact the spatial distances between these camera components.
