Les judas ne comportent pas nécessairement une lentille optique (normale ou grand angulaire); par souci de précision, il est préférable d'utiliser «judas optique» lorsque le dispositif est muni d'une lentille optique et de réserver le terme «judas» aux ouvertures sans lentille optique. 10, record 1, French, - microviseur
