Yes, it says there's a porro mirror, but I can't imagine where it is or

than upward). Odd.
The name "porro mirror" has nothing to do with main mirror (that moves
to the side, not up by the way :-). It was just called "porro mirror"
by a man who invented a set of mirrors to transfer image to viewfinder,
that's it :-)
