A supplementary optical system for a camera which is inserted between a photographic lens and a camera housing and which comprises a relay system for projecting an image of the photographic lens onto a film or a video recording material, wherein the relay system produces more than one image and a zoom lens is disposed on the camera body. The supplementary optical system permits focusing and other camera controls to be operated near the camera housing. Additionally, this invention can be converted for performing different tasks in a simple manner due to the employment of path bending units.
