Overview

The Konica Domirex was a prototype camera, a 35mm SLR, using an unusual mirror arrangement to eliminate the need for the mirror to flip up out of the way prior to exposure.The Domirex uses a number of small mirrors to redirect the image to the viewfinder, rather than a single large mirror along with the bulging pentaprism typical of 35mm SLR cameras.
