IMAGING LENS AND IMAGING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18492722 titled 'IMAGING LENS AND IMAGING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The imaging lens described in the patent application consists of a front group, a stop, and a rear group with a refractive power. The front group and rear group are combined and include at least five negative lenses and at least three positive lenses. The front group includes a first lens as a negative meniscus lens with a convex surface facing the object side, and a second lens as a negative lens with a concave surface facing the image side. The front group also includes at least one positive lens.

  • Front group and rear group combined
  • Front group includes at least five negative lenses and at least three positive lenses
  • First lens in front group is a negative meniscus lens with convex surface facing object side
  • Second lens in front group is a negative lens with concave surface facing image side
  • Front group includes at least one positive lens

Original Abstract Submitted

An imaging lens consisting of, in order from an object side to an image side: a front group; a stop; and a rear group that has a refractive power, wherein: the front group and the rear group are combined and include at least five negative lenses and at least three positive lenses, a lens closest to the object side in the front group is a first lens as a negative meniscus lens which has a convex surface facing toward the object side, a lens, which is second from the object side in the front group, is a second lens as a negative lens which has a concave surface facing toward the image side, and the front group includes at least three negative lenses, which include the first lens and the second lens, and at least one positive lens. The imaging lens satisfies predetermined conditional expressions.
