ABSTRACT:
A photographic camera having a plurality of interchangeable, adjustable focus lenses and having a focus control system capable of focusing each such lens over a range of subject distances in response to a rangefinder derived signal is provided with a sonic ranging system that includes an ultrasonic, capacitance-type transducer having a multiple segment backplate whose sonic beam angle is automatically correlated to the field-of-view angle of the image forming lens by selecting a particular combination of backplate segments when or as a particular interchangeable lens is attached to the camera body.
