ABSTRACT:
In a folding type camera, a taking lens is supported by a lens supporting member. The lens supporting member is swung about an axis disposed adjacent to an upper edge of a housing provided in the front face of a camera body and is swingable between a forwardly projected position and a folded position retained in the housing. When the lens supporting member is in the folded position, there is formed a space between the lower end of the lens supporting member and the lower inside edge of the housing . The space is closed by an auxiliary closure member swingable about an axis adjacent to the lower edge of the housing. The auxiliary closure member is swung inwardly and outwardly pushed by the free end of the lens supporting member when it is swung back and forth, and returns to its original position when the free end of the lens supporting member clears the upper end of the auxiliary closure member.
