Abstract
A photographic camera has a film magazine chamber and a film take-up chamber disposed on opposite sides of an optical system of a viewfinder. A gear train transmits power for taking up the film between the film magazine chamber and the film take-up chamber. The gear train has a power transmission shaft which extends right and left of the camera body and has a length sufficient to extend across the optical system of the viewfinder, and a recess is formed in the contour of the optical system of the viewfinder as viewed from a side of the optical system. The power transmission shaft extends through the recess.
