[0023] Some existing large-aperture optical lenses for photography have a lens group structure with a large number of lenses and high costs. After reducing the number of lenses, the performance is poor at large apertures and the resolution is low.
[0024] Some existing optical imaging systems use lens group structures that have a large number of lenses and a long total optical length, and their structures are bloated and cannot be reduced in size.
[0025] For example, in the document with publication number JP2013137411A, multiple embodiments are disclosed in which the total optical length is longer and is more suitable for optical systems with long flange distances, while in the document with publication number CN218866211U, multiple embodiments adopt an inner focusing optical system, which also has the problem of a longer total optical length and a large number of lenses.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 As shown, an optical imaging system according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a first lens group (100), a second lens group (200), a third lens group (300) and a fourth lens group (400) which are arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side along the optical axis; The third lens group (300) includes only one lens, and the fourth lens group (400) includes only one lens; The first lens group (100), the second lens group (200), the third lens group (300) and the fourth lens group (400) respectively satisfy the following conditional expressions: 0.8≤F1 / F≤2.0(1) -3.0≤F2 / F≤3.0(2) -5.0≤F3 / F≤-2.0(3) 0.5≤F4 / F≤4.0(4) in, F1: is the focal length of the first lens group (100); F2: is the focal length of the second lens group (200); F3: is the focal length of the third lens group (300); F4: is the focal length of the fourth lens group (400); F: is the focal length of the optical imaging system.
[0027] The optical imaging system of the embodiment of the present invention is mainly suitable for applications with a large image field, such as single-lens reflex photography, etc. Under the large image field, it has a compact size.
[0028] For example, the third lens group 300 and the fourth lens group 400 include only one lens, have a compact structure and a small size, and the first lens group 100, the second lens group 200, the third lens group 300 and the fourth lens group 400 meet the above conditional formula, have a suitable optical power distribution, and can have excellent optical performance under the premise of a small size.
[0029] It should be understood that an aperture stop 500 is provided between each lens group. Preferably, an aperture stop 500 is provided between the first lens group 100 and the second lens group 200 .
[0030] It can be understood that the optical imaging system of the embodiment of the present invention is preferably provided with 7 lenses, wherein the first lens group 100 includes 3 lenses, the second lens group 200 includes 2 lenses, and the third lens group 300 and the fourth lens group 400 each include 1 lens. In the embodiment, along the direction from the object side to the image side of the optical axis, the above lenses are numbered L1 to L7 in sequence.
[0031] Preferably, the lens L1 and the lens L7 also satisfy the following conditional formula: 1.8≤Nd(5), Wherein, Nd is the refractive index of the lens material when transmitting light with a wavelength of 587.56 nm.
[0032] Preferably, the lenses L2, L4 and L6 also satisfy the following conditional formula: Vd≤40(6) Wherein, Vd is the Abbe number of the lens material when transmitting light with a wavelength of 587.56 nm.
[0033] In the embodiment, the first lens group 100 is also recorded as G1, the second lens group 200 is also recorded as G2, the third lens group 300 is also recorded as G3, and the fourth lens group 400 is also recorded as G4. Therefore, among the above lenses, the lens G1L1 and the lens G4L7 satisfy the conditional formula 1.8≤Nd. The lens G1L2, the lens G2L4 and the lens G3L6 satisfy the conditional formula Vd≤40.
[0034] It is understandable that the first lens group 100 includes three lenses, and the specific distribution method can be from the object side to the image side along the optical axis. The first lens group 100 includes a first lens with positive focal power, a second lens with negative focal power, and a third lens with positive focal power in sequence. It should be understood that the first lens here is only a naming method for distinguishing the lenses in the first lens group 100, and the first of the first lens does not limit the arrangement position of the lens. Similarly, the second lens and the third lens are also the same. In a specific embodiment, the arrangement position of the lenses is marked with L1, L2, Ln, etc.
[0035] It is understandable that the second lens group 200 includes two lenses, and the specific distribution method can be that along the optical axis direction from the object side to the image side, the second lens group 200 includes a fourth lens with negative optical power and a fifth lens with positive optical power in sequence. Preferably, the second lens group 200 includes an aspherical lens.

[0037] It can be understood that in the optical imaging system of the embodiment of the present invention, there are two focusing methods. The first focusing method is: during the focusing process from infinity to close distance on the object side, the first lens group 100 and the second lens group 200 move along the optical axis toward the object side. The second focusing method is: during the focusing process from infinity to close distance on the object side, the first lens group 100, the second lens group 200, the third lens group 300 and the fourth lens group 400 move along the optical axis toward the object side.
