Abstract

The photographic copying apparatus comprises a first exposure arrangement for exposure of photographic negative and positive copy masters and a second exposure arrangement for exposure of screen copy masters onto photographic copy material. The second exposure arrangement includes a cathode ray tube with control system. The cathode ray tube is arranged at approximately a right angle with respect to the exposure light path of the first exposure arrangement. The second exposure arrangement further comprises a color filter assembly, an objective and a mirror for directing the screen copy master emitted by the cathode ray tube to the photographic copy material. The color filter assembly, the objective and the mirror are combined as a structural unit to constitute an imaging optical system, which can be positioned into the exposure light path instead of an reproduction objective of the first exposure arrangement.
