Abstract
There is presented an adaptor for attachment to an instant camera to enable the camera to produce an exposed film unit having indicia imprinted thereon during photographic exposure of the film unit. The adaptor includes a face plate and attachment structure extending therefrom for releasably connecting the adaptor to the camera. The face plate has provision therein for a lens orifice adapted to be in alignment with the camera objective lens opening, a view finder orifice adapted to be in alignment with the camera view finder window, and a light source orifice adapted to be off-set from alignment with the camera light source. A side of the face plate adapted to be opposed to face surfaces of the camera is provided with a light reflective surface. Light from the camera light source is in part intercepted by and reflected from the adaptor reflective surface and directed thereby to the camera objective lens opening.
