It has a folded light path, the rays emerging from the lens being reflected by two mirrors before hitting the film. The purpose is to make a compact yet rigid camera with a standard 75mm lens. The same design is also used in another contemporary Japanese camera, the <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Rich-Ray-6%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Rich-Ray-6%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BRich-Ray-6%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="211208-3008422545f099677003b9" href="/wiki/Rich-Ray-6" title="Rich-Ray-6">Rich-Ray-6</a>.

This French camera was announced in 1950, two years before the Tomy; even if the design differs, it is possible that the inventor of the Tomy was inspired by the Cyclope. </p><p /> <!-- Saved in parser cache with key camerapedia:rte-parser-cache:5603 --> Loading editor Below are some commonly used wiki markup codes.
