ABSTRACT:
A copying apparatus having a changeable copying magnification is provided with focusing lens means having a variable focal length positionally fixed as a whole, and optical path length changing means for increasing or reducing the length of the optical path before or behind the focusing lens. An original to be copied and a photosensitive medium are selectively brought into one of a conjugate relationship for forming a life-size image and a conjugate relationship for forming a reduced or a magnified image. Desirably, the optical path length changing means displaces the optic axis in order to register one side edge of the image at different magnifications to a predetermined position on the photosensitive medium.
