Abstract
A camera system for the simultaneous and substantially exact capturing of images of a subject on separate image reproduction mediums wherein an optical member is interposed between a lens group and a pair of separate, discrete image receiving mediums. One of the mediums is a photographic film and the other is a viewing screen for personal viewing or, alternatively, an electronic system for electronic signal generation, electronic viewing and electronic capture of the image. The optical member allows light rays emanating from the object to pass therethrough to impinge upon one of the mediums while simultaneously reflecting light rays to the second medium. This system allows for the simultaneous transfer and reproduction of the object image onto more than one medium without degradation of the image or depth of field. The system accomplishes the multiple image transfer through a stationary device, thereby eliminating the necessity of moving parts. The system also eliminates problems resulting from refractions of light normally accompanying light ray direction control devices.
