Abstract:
An object of the invention is to provide a compact yet high-performance finder optical system comprising an image inversion optical subsystem having a decentered reflecting surface, which enables a bright, distortion-free image to be observed. This object is achieved by locating a rotationally asymmetric surface in the image inversion optical subsystem forming part of the finder optical system.
Abstract:
A high-performance and low-cost image-forming optical system made compact and thin by folding an optical path using reflecting surfaces having power. The optical system has a plurality of reflecting surfaces having power. Among the reflecting surfaces, a reflecting surface (12) of negative power is placed closest to the object side, and a reflecting surface (22) of positive power is placed closer to the image side than the reflecting surface (12). At least one reflecting surface (13) is provided between the reflecting surface (12) and the reflecting surface (22). An axial principal ray (1) incident on the reflecting surface (13) satisfies the condition of 45.degree.

The invention provides a zooming lens system which covers a wide-angle zone, has a zooming ratio of approximately 3 or higher, and is well corrected for various aberrations. This system comprises, in order from the object side, a first lens unit I having positive refracting power, a second lens unit II having negative refracting power, a third lens unit III having positive refracting power, a fourth lens unit IV having positive refracting power and a fifth lens unit V having positive refracting power, with at least said first, third, fourth and fifth lens units being moved toward the object side for zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, and conforms to the following conditions:-0.8
Abstract:
An optical system comprising a plural number of lens elements at least one of which is designed as a graded refractive index lens element having refractive index distribution in the radial direction, and has aberrations favorably corrected in said optical system as a whole by making most of the correcting functions of the graded refractive index lens element for Petzval's sum and chromatic aberration.
Abstract:
A compact vari-focal lens system comprising, in the order from the object side, a first lens unit having a positive refractive power, a second lens unit having a positive refractive power and a third lens unit having a negative refractive power, and uses at least one radial type graded refractive index lens element arranged at the image side location in the second lens unit.
