  • Patent number: 3952321
    Abstract: In a single lens reflex camera having a focusing plate, a pentaroof-prism and an eyepiece, an optical system for indicating information within the view field of the finder includes first prism means disposed on the principal optical axis of the finder between the pentaroof-prism and the eyepiece. The incidence surface of the first prism means is parallel to the emergence surface of the pentaroof-prism and the emergence surface of the first prism means forms a predetermined angle .alpha. with a horizontal plane containing the principal optical axis of the finder. A reflector member is disposed at the upper end of the front reflective surface of the pentaroof-prism and outwardly of the boundary point of the finder's view field light. An indicator member is disposed above the first prism means. Second prism means is disposed on the optical axis of the finder between the first prism means and the eyepiece.
