Abstract
A photographic printer of the type having a printing lens which is disposed between an image projecting unit including an illumination lamp and a negative carrier, and a photographic paper on which an image is printed, and is adapted to move up and down along the printing light path to vary the conjugate length of the printer in order to change printing magnification, the photographic printer including an image sensing unit comprising an image sensor, a reflection mirror for reflecting and deflecting the printing light toward the image sensor, a zoom lens for focusing the reflected and deflected printing light onto the image sensor. The image projecting unit and the image sensing unit are associated to move along the printing optical path as one body.
Claims4
A photographic printer of the type having a printing lens disposed between a negative carrier and a photographic paper which is displaceable along a printing optical path to vary a printing magnification of said photographic printer, said photographic printer comprising;
- image projecting means including an illumination lamp and said negative carrier for projecting an image of a negative held by said negative carrier;
- image sensing means displaceably located in said printing optical path for sensing said projected image, said image sensing means comprising an image sensing element, a reflection mirror removably disposed in said printing optical path for reflecting and deflecting printing light toward said image sensing element, and a zoom lens for focusing said reflected and deflected printing light onto said image sensor;
- and
- means for moving said image projection means and said image sensing means along said printing optical path as one body.
