ABSTRACT:
A viewfinder optical system has a relay lens system. The relay lens system focuses a primary image to form a secondary image. The relay lens is provided at an optical conjugate point with respect to a pupil. A surface of the relay lens system has an optical power of diffraction. The surface is positioned between the primary image and the optical conjugate point. The surface also has optical power of refraction.
