== Waist level (reflecting) viewfinders == Simple reflecting viewfinders, known also as "brilliant finders", comprised a small forward-looking lens, a small mirror at 45Β° behind it, and a lens at the top; the user held the camera at waist level and looked down into the lens, where a small image could be seen. Such viewfinders were integrated into [[box camera]]s, and fitted to the side of [[folding camera]]s. These viewfinders were fitted to inexpensive cameras. <gallery mode=packed> File:Ansco Panda.jpg|Child's waist-view box camera File:Mamiya 645 1000s waist level finder.JPG|Mamiya 645 1000s waist level finder File:Robot Royal III camera with Zeiss Ikon waist level viewfinder attachment.jpg|Robot Royal III camera with Zeiss Ikon waist level viewfinder attachment </gallery>
