MIRROR ARRANGEMENT FOR REFLEX CAMERAS

A mirror arrangement for reflex cameras, consisting of a main mirror (2), which can pivot in a housing (4), and a pivotable secondary mirror (6), wherein the main mirror (2) is partially transmissive in a central region (5) and the secondary mirror (6) is arranged downstream of this partially transmissive region (5) in the direction of the light and is matched to this region (5) in terms of its size, and wherein, in an upper position, both mirrors (2, 6) are situated in one plane and, in a lower position, the main mirror (2) is aligned at 45° with respect to the upper position and the secondary mirror (6) is aligned such that it is tilted with respect to the main mirror (2), is characterized in that the main mirror (2) is connected in an articulated manner to a steering lever (19), which is rotatable about a rotary spindle (20), such that the main mirror (2) is pivoted and lowered during transition into the lower position, the secondary mirror (6) is connected to a pivot arm (22), which is arranged pivotably about a rotary spindle (23) which is parallel to the rotary spindle (20) of the steering lever (19) and in that an actuating lever (15), which is connected to the main mirror (2) and the pivot arm (22) of the secondary mirror (6), is present for the simultaneous movement of the main mirror (2) and of the secondary mirror (6) from the upper into the lower position and vice versa.
