Abstract

A new camera bellows of a rotating-mirror framing camera, without principle errors such as defocusing error of imaging points, non-uniform photographic frequency and each axial chief ray of exit-pupil and the corresponding relay lens being different with a corresponding reflective optical axis, is provided. This kind of camera bellows is carried out through centers of the exit-pupil diaphragms being disposed on a cylindrical surface aligned with a first Pascal spiral line, and principal points of the relay lenses of the relay lens array and the image recording surface being disposed on cylindrical surfaces aligned with second and third Pascal spiral lines respectively. The bellows is mainly composed of a box, and an aperture diaphragm, a field lens, a rotating mirror, a relay lens array, an exit-pupil diaphragm array and a record image surface.
