[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 328775, member: 16749"] Yes, as someone else mentioned that's what is called a twin lens reflex, or TLR camera. Same basic idea as an SLR, inasmuch as the viewfinder consists of a lens similar to the one that will take the picture, but with its image bounced off of a mirror the word “reflex” refers to the mirror) and focused above on a focusing screen just as in an SLR. The difference between a TLR and an SLR, of course, is that an SLR uses the same lens for the viewfinder that is also used to take the picture while a TLR uses a separate, but similar lens, focus-coupled to the primary lens.
