Field of the Invention The present invention is made to solve the above described problems, and has an object to provide a The present invention relates to a photographic 5 photographic printer in which it is possible to surely printer, and more particularly to a photographic printer detect light for light measurement or for imaging while having a photometerical device for measuring the maintaining the security of photographic films and density of an image to be printed and/or an imaging achieving sufficiently high speed printing of popular device for displaying the image on a monitor. size film such as 1 35 film. The printer should be con- 10 venient in interchanging the lenses, easy in operation Background of the Invention and capable of making high quality prints.

For directing prints of 1 35-size and smaller frames such as frames light toward the sensor, it is known to use a movable 20 of a disc film, , , while at least a fixed mirror having total reflection surface and to place it in focus lens and a mirror are used for making such and out of the light path, see US-A-4 797 713 for in- prints to which the zoom lens is not applicable, the stance. mirror being movable into and out of a printing light However, such mirror must be inserted in and re- path between the fixed focus lens and the film sur- moved from the printing light path before printing 25 face. each frame. Therefore, it is hard to print at a high The present invention takes advantage of the fact speed, and it is difficult to position the mirror at high that the above mentioned special print such as the accuracy. In addition, in an inverted type of photo- print of a ® film and a package print is not graphic printer in which the photographic film is necessarily performed at a high speed.

Although size or smaller frames (hereinafter referred to as such beam splitter makes it possible to make prints small frames) securely at a high speed, because it is at a high speed, the beam splitter can make it incon- 40 unnecessary to change the lens in accordance with venient to interchange the lenses.

For example, when printing a Brownie On the other hand, when making a special print, (Trademark) film, a specific lens therefor is desirable; an appropriate kind of fixed focus lens is set in the or to make a package print, that is a print bearing more 45 printing light path in stead of the zoom lens and, at than one image of the same subject, a cluster of lens- that time, the movable mirror is used for obtaining the es (so called lens cluster) is indispensable.

Since such special print is not so more, in order to make a sufficiently high quality print, frequently required, and no beam splitter is disposed it is necessary to accommodate not only the lens but before the fixed focus lens, the interchange of the also the beam splitter. For this purpose, however, so fixed focus lens is not troublesome, and also conven- conventional lenses are not applicable, and it is nec- tional fixed focus lenses are applicable.
