Posted - Jan 24 2008 : 9:45:00 PM I apologize for my ignorance but I've never had these finders before. What does "reversed" mean? It always confused me.
Thanks,
Vlad.

Posted - Jan 25 2008 : 5:26:02 PM As far as I know, the finders of our cameras are based on that principle: to have an image smaller than the object. The most simple of all the Galileo reversed finders: the one of the Leica A or C, without any rangefinder.
If I'm not wrong!
Amitiés. Jacques.

I am still confused.. so what is the useful application for these reverse finders?

Posted - Jan 25 2008 : 07:52:56 AM Hi Vlad! The telescope of Galileo permits to obtain a straight image bigger than the object. If you look at the other side of that telescope, the image becomes smaller. It's the principle of the reversed Galileo finder.
