Period

Probably used in the 1950's and 1960's.

Canada

Part of a collection of photographic equipment from the estate of Wilfred Harold Olson, founder and president of Dominion Wide Photography Ltd., Ottawa (1952-1995). Mr. Olson was a photographer for many years and his studio did work for both the Ottawa Journal and CBC.

Function

General: A camera accessory showing the field of view of the lens, used in framing and focusing the picture. Specific: Used to produce an intermediate image between the ground-glass screen and the ocular of an Arriflex cine camera. [see manual in s.i. File]

Technical

The intermediate image-producing system gives a ground-glass screen image, scale 1:1 the same as without the attachment. The finder can be turned through 180 degrees round the optical axis without turning the sighted viewfinder image also thus it can be used for special purposes such as trick and scientific shots [ref 1]
