ABSTRACT:
A real image mode finder is provided with an objective lens, an image erection unit, and an eyepiece lens, and the image erection unit comprises a reflection member bending laterally an optical path and a prism constructed so that a light beam reflected at the reflection member enters a common surface, is reflected from a reflection surface toward the common surface, is further reflected from the common surface, and then emerges from an emergence surface. Whereby, the real image mode finder is adapted to eliminate longitudinal and lateral projections like a Porro prism, diminish the number of prisms and the number of times of reflections in comparison with a Pechan prism, and meet space-saving and low cost so as to be capable of accommodating a small-sized camera body.
