ZOOM LENS SYSTEM, AND IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICE AND INTERCHANGEABLE LENS UNIT INCLUDING THE ZOOM LENS SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18532417 titled 'ZOOM LENS SYSTEM, AND IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICE AND INTERCHANGEABLE LENS UNIT INCLUDING THE ZOOM LENS SYSTEM
The patent application describes a zoom lens system with multiple lens groups and an aperture stop, meeting specific criteria for focal length and back focus at the wide-angle end.
- The zoom lens system consists of a first lens group with negative power, a second lens group with positive power, a third lens group with negative power, and a fourth lens group with negative power.
- An aperture stop is positioned between the first and second lens groups.
- The zoom lens system must satisfy the condition 0.5 < fw/BFw < 1.5, where fw is the focal length at the wide-angle end and BFw is the back focus at the wide-angle end.
Potential Applications: - Camera lenses for digital cameras - Surveillance systems - Medical imaging devices
Problems Solved: - Achieving optimal zoom capabilities with multiple lens groups - Ensuring consistent image quality across different focal lengths

Original Abstract Submitted
A zoom lens system includes multiple lens groups and an aperture stop. The multiple lens groups consist of: a first lens group having negative power; a second lens group having positive power, a third lens group having negative power; and a fourth lens group having negative power. The aperture stop is disposed between the first and second lens groups. The zoom lens system satisfies 0.5<fw/BFw <1.5, where fw is a focal length of the zoom lens system at a wide-angle end and BFw is a back focus of the zoom lens system at the wide-angle end.
