Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to an apparatus for internal measurement of the exposure in photographic cameras where the light penetrating the picture-taking or objective lens is fed by way of a mirror to a photoelectric cell. A marginal reflective surface faces the objective lens and surrounds a picture window adjacent the film surface. The marginal surface is formed as a concave mirror the optical axis of which is inclined to the optical axis of the objective lens so as to reflect part of the light therefrom to the photoelectric cell.
