Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical imaging technology, and more specifically, to a macro photography optical system. Background Technology

[0002] A digital SLR camera is a single-lens reflex digital camera. This technology involves mounting a mirror at a 45° angle in front of the film plane. Above the mirror are a ground glass, a pentaprism, and an eyepiece. The pentaprism reflects the real image light multiple times, changing the light path and sending the image to the eyepiece. This ensures that the image seen in the viewfinder is always the same as the image on the film, and that the framing and the actual shooting area are essentially identical. This unique prism design allows the photographer to directly observe the image passing through the lens in the viewfinder.

[0003] Fixed-focus lenses can be classified according to their focusing method into two types: screw-out type and internal focusing type.

[0004] Screw-out lenses are relatively easy to design, but during use, because the structure cannot be completely sealed, external dust and moisture can easily enter the lens and contaminate the optical lens.

[0005] Internal focusing can completely prevent external dust and moisture from easily entering the lens, thus providing excellent protection.

[0006] Internal focusing systems are classified according to the number of focusing groups, and are further divided into single-group focusing systems and multi-group focusing systems.

[0007] In single-group focusing, only one lens group moves together during focusing, and the lenses within the group are relatively fixed and cannot move. In multi-group focusing, at least two lens groups move simultaneously during focusing, and the distance between the two lens groups also changes.

[0008] Because lens manufacturers often cannot achieve a high level of precision in machining the cam barrel, coupled with low precision in lens machining and assembly, the yield rate of produced lenses is relatively low. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the embodiments of the present invention provide a macro photography optical system. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: how to improve the problem of low lens production yield caused by low lens processing precision and low assembly precision, so as to achieve a good imaging effect.

[0014] The image mirror is configured as a lens L15 with an infinite radius of curvature and an image plane.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the lenses L1-L14 are all configured as glass concave / convex spherical lenses, and the aperture is configured as a variable aperture.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the lens comprises, in sequence from the object side to the image side along the optical axis, a cemented lens, a focusing group, a back focusing lens group, and an image plane mirror, wherein:

[0017] The cemented lens includes, along the optical axis from the object side to the image side, a lens L1 with positive optical power and a lens L2 with positive optical power.

[0018] The focusing lens group, along the optical axis from the object side to the image side, includes, in sequence, a lens L3 with positive optical power, a lens L4 with positive optical power, a lens L5 with negative optical power, a lens L6 with positive optical power, an aperture with infinite radius of curvature, a lens L7 with negative optical power, a lens L8 with negative optical power, a lens L9 with positive optical power, and a lens L10 with negative optical power.

[0019] The rear focusing lens group includes, along the optical axis from the object side to the image side, a lens L11 with positive optical power, a lens L12 with negative optical power, a lens L13 with positive optical power, and a lens L14 with positive optical power.

[0020] The image mirror is configured as a lens L15 with an infinite radius of curvature and an image plane.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the lenses L1-L14 are all configured as glass concave / convex spherical lenses, and the aperture is configured as a variable aperture.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the lens comprises, in sequence from the object side to the image side along the optical axis, a front focusing lens, a focusing group, a rear focusing lens group, and an image plane mirror, wherein:

[0023] The front focusing lens is set as a lens L1 with positive optical power;

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the lenses L1-L13 are all configured as glass concave / convex spherical lenses, and the aperture is configured as a variable aperture.

[0028] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0029] This invention employs an all-glass spherical lens, placing the variable aperture between the focusing groups. The aperture moves with the focusing groups, improving and balancing aberration levels at various focusing distances. The composite cemented lens eliminates aberrations and remains relatively fixed to the imaging plane. It prevents dust and moisture from entering the lens during focusing group movement. The final lens in the lens group is a convex lens, which reduces the principal ray incident angle in each field of view and increases the back focal length, making it suitable for SLR cameras, mirrorless cameras, and even cinema cameras, achieving excellent imaging results.
