A focusing device for the focusing movement of at least one member of an objective lens, with at least one photoelectric transducer or sensing device which is arranged on the axis of an optical system, by which transducer device in dependency on the contrast of the scene to be photographed which is illuminated by the ambient light a signal is able to be produced (passive range finding) and with an evaluation device for the signal which is produced by the photoelectric transducer device, by which device a special evaluation signal is able to be produced during insufficient contrast of the object to be photographed. By this special evaluation signal, a transmitting device for emitting an (active) distance measuring wave packet on the object to be photographed can be turned on by means of a switching device.
