ABSTRACT:
A camera having first and second housing sections, each of which is adapted to receive a film cassette containing at least one film unit. The camera is of the single reflex type and includes a pair of opaque members each of which is mounted for movement between a first position wherein it overlies a film cassette thereby allowing the camera's lens and shutter assembly to remain open during viewing and focusing without prematurely exposing a film unit and a second position wherein the film unit is uncovered in preparation for exposure. The first and second housing sections are coupled together for movement between (1) an extended position wherein they define an angle therebetween and wherein either the film unit in the first or second housing section may be exposed and (2) a collapsed inoperative position wherein one of the housing sections overlies the other thereby enhancing the compactness of the camera.
