Contemporary with the Auto Sensorex, the Ricoh TLS 401 was that company's most interesting SLR ever. In addition to dual spot/averaging metering it featured a dual eye/waist level viewfinder! The latter was made possible by using mirrors rather than a glass pentaprism, with one mirror flipping to provide the top viewfinder image. It's the only time this has been done, and the only waist level viewfinder that gives a laterally correct view.
