Abstract
A real image zooming viewfinder comprising three optical units with refracting optical power and an additional moving reflective optical unit. Zooming is accomplished by moving one of the refractive optical units and the additional reflective optical unit or by moving the first and the second optical units. The need for field lens is eliminated by having the first and the second unit cooperate to make the finder system telecentric with respect to principal rays at the intermediate image plane.
