LENS APPARATUS AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18466092 titled 'LENS APPARATUS AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The lens apparatus described in the patent application consists of two optical systems and a lens mount attachable to a camera body. Each optical system has three optical axes: a first, second, and third axis.
- The first optical system and the second optical system are positioned parallel to each other.
- The distance between the first optical axis of the first optical system and the first optical axis of the second optical system is longer than the diameter of the lens mount.
- The distance between the third optical axis of the first optical system and the third optical axis of the second optical system is shorter than the diameter of the lens mount.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Photography and videography: The lens apparatus can be used in cameras to capture high-quality images and videos.
- Cinematography: The lens apparatus can be utilized in professional movie cameras to achieve precise and accurate focus.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved image quality: The parallel positioning of the two optical systems helps in reducing aberrations and distortions, resulting in sharper and clearer images.
- Enhanced focusing capabilities: The design of the lens apparatus allows for more precise and accurate focusing, leading to better overall image quality.
Benefits of this technology:
- Compact design: The lens apparatus is designed to be compact, making it easier to handle and carry.
- Versatility: The lens mount can be attached to various camera bodies, providing flexibility and compatibility with different camera models.
- High-quality imaging: The lens apparatus ensures improved image quality by reducing aberrations and achieving accurate focus.
Original Abstract Submitted
A lens apparatus includes a first optical system, a second optical system disposed in parallel with the first optical system, and a lens mount attachable to a camera body. Each of the first optical system and the second optical system has a first optical axis, a second optical axis, and a third optical axis in order from an object side to an image side. A distance between the first optical axis of the first optical system and the first optical axis of the second optical system is longer than a diameter of the lens mount, and a distance between the third optical axis of the first optical system and the third optical axis of the second optical system is shorter than the diameter of the lens mount.
