Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term combines 'single-lens' (referring to the use of the same lens for both viewing and taking the picture) and 'reflex' (referring to the mirror that reflects light up into the viewfinder). It emerged in the mid-20th century with the advancement of precision optical engineering, translating the Chinese search query 'dān yīnjìng de' (单镜头的, meaning 'single-lens').
