Abstract
A foldable camera having a reflex mirror for redirecting image bearing light rays from the camera's lens to a film unit located in a cassette. An upper and lower housing interconnected by a flexible bellows are pivotally connected to one another for movement between a folded inoperative position and an erected operable position. When the upper housing is erected, the reflex mirror is simultaneously pivoted about an axis which is neither perpendicular to or parallel with the optical axis of the lens so as to dispose the mirror in an erected position permitting the camera to assume a low profile in the fully erected operable position.
