ABSTRACT:
A viewfinder optical system for conducting light from an object to an observer includes a plurality of reflecting surfaces having optical powers. Optical paths of each ray of a light flux reflected successively by the plurality of reflecting surfaces intersect each other at least twice, and the light from the object forms an image at least twice when passing through the viewfinder optical system.
