The most prominent feature is the
large
bright finder
which shows the picture in
almost natural size before you take it. A
stepped Fresnel-type field lens evenly illu-
minates the parallax-free finder image right
into the corners. You observe it through
a pentaprism which shows an upright and
right-way round picture at eye-level. The
finder indicates the correct field of view
even with the lens attachments or the
supplementary lenses for close-up photo-
graphy.
The
focusing system
with the
split~image
rangefinder and the ground glass screen
ring within the finder measures the exact
distance and automatically sets the lens.
The world-famous
ZEISS TESSAR
f12.8
lens
with a focal length of
F!4

or colour film. It is of course colour cor-
rected and coated.
