Abstract:
Providing a retrofocus lens system and an image-taking device having small variation in aberrations upon focusing on a close object with a high imaging magnification. The retrofocus lens system includes, in order from an object, a first lens group G1 having negative refractive power, a second lens group G2 having negative refractive power, and a third lens group G3 having positive refractive power. Upon focusing from infinity to a close object, the first lens group G1, the second lens group G2, and the third lens group G3 are moved to the object such that a distance between the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 increases, and a distance between the second lens group G2 and the third lens group G3 decreases.
Abstract:
A zoom lens includes a most object-side lens unit (G1) remaining fixed on the optical axis when the magnification of the zoom lens is changed and a focusing operation is performed; a most image-side lens unit (G4,G5) remaining fixed when the focusing operation is performed; and a plurality of moving lens units (G2,G3) lying between the most object-side lens unit and the most image-side lens unit, moved along the optical axis when the magnification is changed. The most object-side lens unit (G1) includes, in order from the object side, a negative lens component (L1,1), a reflective optical component (R1) having a reflecting surface for bending the optical path, and a positive lens component (L1,2). The most image-side lens unit has at least one aspherical surface. An electronic imaging device includes an electronic image sensor located on the image side of the zoom lens.
Abstract:
In a zoom lens (30) comprising, from the object side to the image side, a front lens group (12) and a controllable lens group (24), the controllable lens group comprises two lens elements (25, 26) having different dispersions and being movable with respect to each other so as to perform a focusing action. One of the lens elements corrects for the dispersion of the zoom lens. Preferably, the zoom lens comprises at least one folding mirror.
Abstract:
A variable power finder is proposed, which comprises: an objective system; an inverting system; and an ocular system, in order from object side. The third lens group of the objective system is constituted by one lens prism having at least one reflection surface, and following expressions are satisfied: (1) f3/fw ≥ 2.5 (2) -1.0 (3) L1/fw 2 ≤ 0.45 (4) L2/fw 2 ≥ 0.03 where f3 is a focal distance of third lens group, fw is a focal distance at wide angle end of objective system, R31 is a curvature radius of object side lens surface of lens prism, R32 is a curvature radius of image side lens surface of lens prism, L1 is an air equivalent distance from middle imaging surface to object side lens surface of lens prism, and L2 is a distance from middle imaging surface to image side lens surface of lens prism.
Abstract:
A zoom lens includes three lens units which are a first unit having a negative refracting power, a second unit having a positive refracting power, and a third unit having a positive refracting power arranged in the stated order from the side of an original surface. Zooming is effected by changing an air space between the first unit and the second unit and an air space between the second unit and the third unit. The second unit has a diffractive optical element.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an image reading apparatus which includes an illumination system, a reading unit, and an imaging optical system (PL) for imaging imagewise information provided on a surface (P) of an original as illuminated by the illumination system, upon a surface (Q) of the reading unit. The imaging optical system includes, in an order from the original surface (P) side, a first lens group (G1) of negative refractive power, a second lens group (G2) of positive refractive power, and a third lens group (G3) of negative refractive power. The image reading apparatus has a focal point position adjusting function and a focal length changing function based on movement of at least one of the lens groups of the imaging optical system.
