[0080] Based on the above-mentioned embodiment 1 and embodiment 2, the present invention further provides a statistical table of calculated values ​​of the conditional formulas of the above two embodiments:

[0081]

[0082] Based on the above embodiment 1 and embodiment 2, it can be seen that the optical imaging system disclosed in the present invention includes, starting from the object side along the optical axis, a front lens group GA, an aperture S, a focus lens group GF and a back lens group GB, wherein the front lens group GA has positive optical power, and includes a first lens L11, a second lens L12, a third lens L13, a fourth lens L14 and a fifth lens L15, wherein the third lens and the fourth lens form a cemented lens group, and the fifth lens is an aspherical lens; the focus lens group GF has positive optical power, and includes a sixth lens L21, a seventh lens L22 and an eighth lens L23, wherein the sixth lens and the seventh lens form a cemented lens group; the back lens group GB has negative optical power, and includes a ninth lens L31, a tenth lens L32 and an eleventh lens L33, and when focusing from infinity to a close object, the focus lens group GF moves along the optical axis from the image side to the object side, and when focusing, the front and rear lenses of the entire system are fixed relative to the image plane.

[0083] In practical applications, in order to reduce the length of the system, the second lens L12 uses a larger focal length to quickly shrink and focus the light, the first lens L11 has a negative focal length and has an opposite aberration to the second lens L12, the first and second lenses form a lens group with positive and negative compensation, the fifth lens L15 is an aspheric surface, and is burdened with a very large spherical aberration, which can compensate for the huge spherical aberration generated by the second lens L12, and at the same time, because the focal length of the fifth lens L15 is very small, it does not generate too many other aberrations except for providing spherical aberration, the front lens group GA, the lens focusing group GF and the ninth lens L31 in the rear lens group GB form a nearly symmetrical structure relative to the aperture of the aperture, and compensate for various aberrations, so that the entire optical imaging system can ensure very small aberrations while reducing the length. Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an optical imaging system with high performance and a relative aperture greater than F2 while meeting the requirements of compact structure and small volume, and better meets the application requirements.

[0084] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
