Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a large-aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lens suitable for a photographing optical system, which is used in imaging devices such as digital cameras and video cameras.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the progress of mirrorless digital cameras and video cameras, and at the same time, high-performance cameras have been installed in smartphones and mobile data terminals. Therefore, in order to differentiate digital cameras from these mobile devices, models equipped with large sensors of 35mm full-size format or more have become mainstream. Similarly, in the photographing optical systems used in imaging devices, the demand for large-aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lenses with bright F-values is increasing in order to differentiate from smartphones and the like.

[0003] In addition, in recent years, digital cameras and video cameras have further advanced in the high pixel count of image sensors, and the demand for higher performance in photographing optical systems has increased even more.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] Ultra-wide-angle lenses with a maximum drawing angle of approximately 160 degrees or more often adopt a retrofocus type lens configuration, and often have a configuration in which a concave meniscus lens with a convex surface facing the object side is arranged on the object side most. In such an optical system, the concave meniscus lens arranged on the object side most often has a concave surface with a large eccentricity ratio and close to a hemisphere, and may reach 50% or more of the total lens weight of the entire optical system. When the F value is reduced, the lens diameter increases, and the weight of the optical system increases rapidly. When aiming for a large aperture ratio, it is important to realize high performance while preventing the lens from becoming bulky.

[0007] Patent Document 1 includes an example of a bright large aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lens with a maximum drawing angle of 160 degrees or more and an F value of 1.6 or less. The large aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lens described in Patent Document 1 has high optical performance, but has a small image circle, and is a very large optical system from the perspective of the size of the optical system with respect to the image circle, and has problems in terms of miniaturization.

[0008] Patent Document 2 includes an example of a large aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lens with an F value of about 1.8 and is bright, but has a large magnification chromatic aberration from a low image height and is insufficient in terms of high performance. In addition, since the back focus is long, it is an optical system that does not take advantage of the short flange back due to the recent mirrorless trend, and there is still room for improvement in terms of miniaturization of the optical system.

[0009] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and aims to provide a large aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lens that realizes miniaturization and weight reduction, has a semi-field angle of 80 degrees or more, is bright with an F value of about 1.8 or less, ensures a sufficient image circle, and has good optical performance from the center to the periphery of the screen.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0010] The large-aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lens according to the present invention is composed of a first lens group G1, an aperture stop S, and a second lens group G2 in order from the object side. The first lens group G1 has a concave meniscus lens component N1 with a convex surface facing the object side arranged on the most object side, and has a concave meniscus lens component N2 with a convex surface facing the object side on the image side of the concave meniscus lens component N1, and is characterized by satisfying the following conditional expressions (1) to (4). (1) 2ω ≧ 160.0° (2) Fno < 1.9 (3) -6.0 < N1OAh / iOAh < -1.1 (4) 0.50 < SagN1 / SagN2 < 1.80 ω: Half field angle at infinity focus Fno: F-number at infinity focus N1OAh: Off-axis chief ray height when a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° is incident on the concave meniscus lens component N1 at infinity focus (however, when 2ω < 180°, the off-axis chief ray height incident at the object-side incident angle ω) iOAh: Image height of the off-axis chief ray when a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° forms an image on the image plane at infinity focus (however, when 2ω < 180°, the image height of the off-axis chief ray incident at the object-side incident angle ω) SagN1: Sag amount from the vertex of the image-side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N1 (the ray height for calculating the sag amount uses the off-axis chief ray height when a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° exits from the surface at infinity focus. Also, when 2ω < 180°, it is calculated using the off-axis chief ray height incident at the object-side incident angle ω) SagN2: Sag amount from the vertex of the image-side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N2 (the ray height for calculating the sag amount uses the off-axis chief ray height when a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° exits from the surface at infinity focus. Also, when 2ω < 180°, it is calculated using the off-axis chief ray height incident at the object-side incident angle ω)

Effect of the Invention

[0011] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a large-aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lens that has a half angle of view of 80 degrees or more, is bright with an F value of about 1.8 or less, ensures a sufficient image circle, and has good optical performance from the center to the periphery of the screen while achieving miniaturization and weight reduction.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] The lens component defined in the present invention refers to a single lens or a cemented lens formed by joining a plurality of single lenses. Therefore, the concave meniscus lens component refers to a concave meniscus lens composed of a single lens or a cemented lens formed by joining a plurality of single lenses and having a negative refractive power as a whole and a concave meniscus shape.

[0014] In addition, the meniscus that defines the shape of the lens in the present invention refers to a curved surface in which the object-side and image-side surfaces have the same-sign radius of curvature. For example, a concave meniscus lens with a convex surface facing the object side refers to a lens in which the radii of curvature of the object-side and image-side surfaces are both positive, and the radius of curvature of the image-side surface is smaller. In the case of an aspherical lens, the lens shape is determined by the paraxial radius of curvature.

[0015] In addition, when counting the number of lenses in the present invention, unless otherwise specified, a single lens is counted as 1, and in the case of a cemented lens, each single lens constituting it is counted as 1. For example, a cemented lens composed of a convex lens and a concave lens is counted as 2.

[0016] In addition, when counting lens components in the present invention, both a lens component composed of a single lens and a lens component composed of a cemented lens are counted as 1. For example, a lens component composed of a single lens is counted as 1 as a lens component, and a cemented lens composed of one convex lens and one concave lens is counted as 1 as a lens component.

[0017] As can be seen from each numerical example and the lens configuration diagrams of each example, the large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of the present invention is composed of a first lens group G1, an aperture stop S, and a second lens group G2 in order from the object side. On the most object side of the first lens group G1, a concave meniscus lens component N1 with a convex surface facing the object side is arranged. On the image side of the concave meniscus lens component N1, it has a configuration having a concave meniscus lens component N2 with a stronger negative refractive power than the concave meniscus lens component N1 and a convex surface facing the object side.

[0018] The large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of the present invention is an ultra-wide angle lens with an overall angle of view 2ω of 160° or more. Generally, in an ultra-wide angle lens with an overall angle of view 2ω of 160° or more, a retrofocus type lens configuration is often adopted. On the most object side, there is often arranged a concave meniscus lens with a convex surface facing the object side and a concave surface that is significantly smaller in the radius of curvature of the image side surface than that of the object side surface and is close to a hemisphere with a large decentration ratio. The above-mentioned concave meniscus lens has the effect of greatly bending the off-axis light rays incident from the object side and reducing the ray height of the off-axis light rays. Also, a lens with an angle of view of 2ω of 160° or more is often a fish-eye lens. In a fish-eye lens, the decentration ratio of the concave meniscus lens on the most object side tends to be larger than that of a general wide-angle lens. This is because in the case of a fish-eye lens, there is no need to correct negative distortion (here, the meaning of distortion refers to the case where the ideal image height is defined by central projection). Therefore, even if the radius of curvature of the image side surface is made significantly smaller than that of the object side to strengthen the negative refractive power, there are few adverse effects and it is possible to miniaturize the optical system.

[0019] The large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of the present invention is a very bright optical system as an ultra-wide angle lens with an F value of less than 1.9 and an overall angle of view 2ω of 160° or more. In such an optical system, the concave meniscus lens arranged on the most object side may reach 50% or more of the total lens weight of the entire optical system. It becomes important how to achieve high performance while preventing the enlargement of the lens.

[0020] In the large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of the present invention, in order to achieve high performance while suppressing the enlargement of the optical system, it is desirable to satisfy the following conditional expressions (1) to (4). (1) 2ω ≥ 160° (2) Fno < 1.9 (3) -6.0 < N1OAh / iOAh < -1.1 (4) 0.50 < SagN1 / SagN2 < 1.80 ω: Half field angle at infinity focus Fno: F-number at infinity focus N1OAh: Off-axis chief ray height when a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° enters the concave meniscus lens component N1 at infinity focus (however, when 2ω < 180°, the off-axis chief ray height when incident at the object-side incident angle ω) iOAh: Image height of the off-axis chief ray when a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° forms an image on the image plane at infinity focus (however, when 2ω < 180°, the image height of the off-axis chief ray when incident at the object-side incident angle ω) SagN1: Sag amount from the vertex of the image-side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N1 (the ray height for calculating the sag amount uses the off-axis chief ray height when a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° exits from the surface at infinity focus. Also, when 2ω < 180°, it is calculated using the off-axis chief ray height when incident at the object-side incident angle ω) SagN2: Sag amount from the vertex of the image-side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N2 (the ray height for calculating the sag amount uses the off-axis chief ray height when a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° exits from the surface at infinity focus. Also, when 2ω < 180°, it is calculated using the off-axis chief ray height when incident at the object-side incident angle ω)

[0021] Conditional expressions (1) and (2) respectively define the full field angle and F-number at infinity focus of the large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens targeted by the present invention. By satisfying conditional expression (1), a sufficient field angle can be obtained at infinity focus of the large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens. Also, by satisfying conditional expression (2), a sufficient F-number can be obtained at infinity focus of the large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens.

[0022] For the conditional expression (1), it is desirable that the lower limit value be 180°, and for the conditional expression (2), it is desirable that the upper limit value be 1.6.

[0023] The conditional expression (3) defines the desirable range of the ratio between the off-axis chief ray height when a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° enters the concave meniscus lens component N1 at infinite focus (however, when 2ω < 180°, it is the off-axis chief ray height when entering with an object-side incident angle of ω) and the imaging height of the off-axis chief ray when the ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° forms an image on the image plane (however, when 2ω < 180°, it is the imaging height of the off-axis chief ray when entering with an object-side incident angle of ω). Note that since the numerical values of N1OAh and iOAh handle the ray height of the off-axis chief ray, a positive-negative relationship occurs. Specifically, since the sign of the off-axis chief ray height reverses before and after the aperture stop, N1OAh and iOAh always have opposite signs.

[0024] When the ratio between the off-axis chief ray height when a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° enters the concave meniscus lens component N1 at infinite focus and the imaging height of the off-axis chief ray when the ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° forms an image on the image plane approaches 0 and increases beyond the upper limit of the conditional expression (3), the diameter of the concave meniscus lens component N1 with respect to the imaging height becomes too small, and it becomes necessary to further strengthen the negative refractive power of the concave meniscus lens component N1, leading to deterioration of the aberration and field curvature, which is not preferable.

[0025] When N1OAh becomes smaller than iOAh beyond the lower limit of the conditional expression (3), and the ratio between the off-axis chief ray height when a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° enters the concave meniscus lens component N1 at infinite focus and the imaging height of the off-axis chief ray when the ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° forms an image on the image plane moves away from 0 and becomes smaller, the diameter of the concave meniscus lens component N1 with respect to the imaging height becomes too large, leading to enlargement of the optical system, which is not preferable.

[0026] Regarding the conditional expression (3), it is desirable to define the upper limit value as -1.2 and the lower limit value as -4.1, and more desirably, by defining the lower limit value as -3.5, it becomes possible to more surely achieve the above-mentioned effects.

[0027] The conditional expression (4) defines the ratio of the sag amounts of the image-side surfaces of the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2 (when calculating the sag amount, the ray height at the time of calculating the sag amount uses the off-axis chief ray height when a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° at infinite focus exits from the surface. Also, when 2ω < 180°, it is calculated using the off-axis chief ray height incident at the object-side incident angle ω). As described above, in an ultra-wide-angle lens with a total angle of view 2ω of 160° or more, the concave meniscus lens with a convex surface facing the object side, the radius of curvature of the image-side surface being significantly smaller than that of the object-side surface, and the sag amount of the image-side surface being large is generally arranged on the object side. Particularly in a fish-eye lens, there are many examples where the shape of the image-side surface is close to a hemisphere. However, it is difficult to improve the processing accuracy of such a concave surface with a large curvature and a large sag amount. Also, when using a general interferometer as a means to measure the surface accuracy of the lens, the measurable diameter becomes smaller as the curvature increases, and in the case of a concave surface close to a hemisphere, it is often difficult to measure the peripheral part with an interferometer. In the case of a bright optical system with an F-number less than F1.9 like the present invention, the depth of focus becomes shallow, so it is required to process the optical element with higher accuracy, and it is necessary to fully consider the radius of curvature and sag amount of the image-side surfaces of the concave meniscus component N1 and the concave meniscus component N2 in terms of processability and measurement accuracy.

[0028] When the ratio of the sag amount of the image-side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the sag amount of the image-side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N2 exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (4), the sag amount of the image-side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N1 with a larger effective diameter increases, and the processability and measurement accuracy deteriorate. Also, if the negative refractive power of the concave meniscus lens component N1 becomes too strong, it becomes difficult to correct the aberration and field curvature, which is not preferable.

[0029] When the ratio of the sag amount of the image-side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the sag amount of the image-side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N2 is less than the lower limit of the conditional expression (4), the sag amount of the image-side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N2 increases, and the processability and measurement accuracy deteriorate. Also, if the negative refractive power of the concave meniscus lens component N2 becomes too strong, it becomes difficult to correct the aberration and field curvature, which is not preferable.

[0030] Regarding the conditional expression (4), it is desirable to define the upper limit as 1.72, the lower limit as 0.60, and more preferably, the upper limit as 1.40 and the lower limit as 0.70, so that the above-described effects can be ensured more reliably.

[0031] In the large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of the present invention, it is desirable that the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2 satisfy the following conditional expression (5). (5) 0.4 < fN1 / fN2 < 5.0 fN1: Focal length of the concave meniscus lens component N1 fN2: Focal length of the concave meniscus lens component N2

[0032] The conditional expression (5) defines the ratio of the focal lengths of the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2. In the case of an ultra-wide angle lens with a large aperture ratio such as the present invention, when the lens on the object side is to maintain high optical performance and reduce the F value or increase the angle of view, it easily becomes bulky. By appropriately setting the focal lengths of the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2 and adopting a configuration in which the negative refractive powers are appropriately shared between the two, it becomes possible to suppress the enlargement of the optical system while maintaining high optical performance.

[0033] If the ratio of the focal lengths of the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2 exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (5), the negative refractive power of the concave meniscus lens component N2 becomes too strong, making it difficult to correct the aberration and field curvature, which is not preferable.

[0034] When the ratio of the focal lengths of the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2 becomes smaller than the lower limit of the conditional expression (5), the negative refractive power of the concave meniscus lens component N1 becomes too strong, making it difficult to correct for aberration and field curvature. Also, the curvature radius on the image side of the concave meniscus lens component N1 becomes smaller, the sag amount increases, the workability and measurement accuracy deteriorate, and the eccentricity ratio of the lens increases. Since the concave meniscus lens component N1 is on the object side and has a larger lens diameter than the concave meniscus lens component N2, the increase in the weight of the lens when the eccentricity ratio increases is more likely to be larger for the concave meniscus lens component N1. Therefore, it easily leads to an increase in the weight of the entire optical system, which is not preferable.

[0035] Regarding the conditional expression (5), it is desirable to define the upper limit value as 4.3 and the lower limit value as 0.7 to make the above-described effects more certain.

[0036] In the large-aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lens of the present invention, it is desirable that the concave meniscus lens component N1 satisfies the following conditional expression (6). (6) 1.5 < N1SF < 6.0 N1SF = (N1R1 + N1R2) / (N1R1 - N1R2) N1R1: The curvature radius of the surface on the object side of the concave meniscus lens component N1 N1R2: The curvature radius of the surface on the image side of the concave meniscus lens component N1

[0037] The conditional expression (6) defines the lens shape of the concave meniscus lens component N1, so-called shape factor. Since the concave meniscus lens component N1 has a concave meniscus shape with a convex surface facing the object side, both N1R1 and N1R2 are larger than 0, N1R1 is larger than N1R2, N1SF becomes larger as the difference between N1R1 and N1R2 becomes smaller, and N1SF approaches 1 as the difference between N1R1 and N1R2 becomes larger. Therefore, if the refractive index of the concave meniscus lens component N1 does not change, the closer N1SF is to 1, the stronger the negative refractive power of the concave meniscus lens component N1, and the larger the sag amount of the surface on the image side of the concave meniscus lens component N1.

[0038] When the N1SF of the concave meniscus lens component N1 exceeds the upper limit of conditional expression (6) and becomes large, the difference between N1R1 and N1R2 becomes small, the negative refractive power of the concave meniscus lens component N1 becomes weak, and the insufficient refractive power is compensated by the concave meniscus lens component N2. As a result, the negative refractive power of the concave meniscus lens component N2 becomes too strong, making it difficult to correct the aberration and field curvature, which is not preferable.

[0039] When the N1SF of the concave meniscus lens component N1 is less than the lower limit of conditional expression (6) and approaches 1, the difference between N1R1 and N1R2 becomes large, and the negative refractive power of the concave meniscus lens component N1 becomes too strong, leading to deterioration of the aberration and field curvature. In addition, since the radius of curvature N1R2 of the image-side surface is particularly small, the sag amount increases, deteriorating the workability and measurement accuracy. Furthermore, since the decentration ratio of the concave meniscus lens component N1 with the largest lens diameter increases, the weight of the optical system increases, which is not preferable.

[0040] Regarding conditional expression (6), it is desirable to define the upper limit value as 4.5, the lower limit value as 1.7, and more preferably, the upper limit value as 4.3 and the lower limit value as 2.2, so that the above-mentioned effects can be made more certain.

[0041] In the large-aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lens of the present invention, it is desirable that the concave meniscus lens component N2 satisfies the following conditional expression (7). (7) 1.2 < N2SF < 5.0 N2SF = (N2R1 + N2R2) / (N2R1 - N2R2) N2R1: Radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N2 N2R2: Radius of curvature of the image-side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N2

[0042] The conditional expression (7) defines the lens shape of the concave meniscus lens component N2, that is, the so-called shape factor. Since the concave meniscus lens component N2 has a concave meniscus shape with a convex surface facing the object side, both N2R1 and N2R2 are greater than 0, N2R1 is greater than N2R2, and the smaller the difference between N2R1 and N2R2, the larger N2SF becomes. N2SF approaches 1 as the difference between N2R1 and N2R2 increases. Therefore, if the refractive index of the concave meniscus lens component N2 remains unchanged, the closer N2SF is to 1, the stronger the negative refractive power of the concave meniscus lens component N2, and the larger the sag amount of the image-side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N2 becomes.

[0043] If N2SF of the concave meniscus lens component N2 increases beyond the upper limit of the conditional expression (7), the difference between N2R1 and N2R2 decreases, the negative refractive power of the concave meniscus lens component N2 weakens, and the insufficient refractive power will be compensated by the concave meniscus lens component N1. As a result, the negative refractive power of the concave meniscus lens component N1 becomes too strong, making it difficult to correct spherical aberration and field curvature. At the same time, the difference in the radius of curvature between the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N1 increases, especially the radius of curvature N1R2 of the image-side surface becomes smaller, so the sag amount increases, and the workability and measurement accuracy deteriorate. In addition, since the eccentricity ratio of the concave meniscus lens component N1 with the largest lens diameter increases, the weight of the optical system increases, which is not preferable.

[0044] If N2SF of the concave meniscus lens component N2 decreases and approaches 1 beyond the lower limit of the conditional expression (7), the negative refractive power of the concave meniscus lens component N2 becomes too strong, making it difficult to correct spherical aberration and field curvature. At the same time, the difference in the radius of curvature between the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N2 increases, especially the radius of curvature N1R2 of the image-side surface becomes smaller, so the sag amount increases, and the workability and measurement accuracy deteriorate, which is not preferable.

[0045] Regarding the conditional expression (7), it is desirable to define the upper limit value as 4.0 and the lower limit value as 1.6 to make the above-mentioned effects more certain.

[0046] In the large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of the present invention, it is desirable that the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2 satisfy the following conditional expression (8). (8) 0.4 < N1SF / N2SF < 3.0 N1SF = (N1R1 + N1R2) / (N1R1 - N1R2) N1R1: Curvature radius of the object side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N1 N1R2: Curvature radius of the image side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N1 N2SF = (N2R1 + N2R2) / (N2R1 - N2R2) N2R1: Curvature radius of the object side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N2 N2R2: Curvature radius of the image side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N2

[0047] The conditional expression (8) defines the ratio of the shape factors of the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2. When trying to reduce the F value or widen the angle of view while maintaining high optical performance, the lens on the object side of the large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens easily becomes bulky. By appropriately setting the shape factors of the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2, it becomes possible to adopt a configuration in which the negative refractive powers are appropriately shared between the two. Also, as described above, the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2 need to be processed with high precision, and it is necessary to set them to a shape that is easy to realize.

[0048] When the ratio of the shape factors of the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2 exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (8), it means that the numerical value of N2SF becomes smaller with respect to N1SF. When N2SF approaches 1 and becomes smaller, the difference in curvature radius between the object side surface and the image side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N2 increases, and particularly the curvature radius of the image side surface becomes smaller, so the sag amount increases and the workability and measurement accuracy deteriorate. Also, the negative refractive power of the concave meniscus lens component N2 becomes too strong, making it difficult to correct the astigmatism and field curvature, which is not preferable.

[0049] When the ratio of the shape factors of the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2 becomes smaller than the lower limit of the conditional expression (8), it means that the numerical value of N1SF becomes smaller with respect to N2SF. When N1SF approaches 1 and becomes smaller, the difference in the radius of curvature between the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N1 increases. In particular, since the radius of curvature of the image-side surface becomes smaller, the sag amount increases, and the workability and measurement accuracy deteriorate. In addition, since the decentering ratio of the concave meniscus lens component N1 with the largest lens diameter increases, the weight of the optical system increases, which is not preferable. Furthermore, the negative refractive power of the concave meniscus lens component N1 becomes too strong, making it difficult to correct the aberration and field curvature, which is not preferable.

[0050] Regarding the conditional expression (8), it is desirable to define the upper limit value as 2.4 and the lower limit value as 0.5 to make the above-described effects more certain.

[0051] In the large-aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lens of the present invention, it is desirable that the concave meniscus lens component N1 satisfies the following conditional expression (9). (9) 1.8 < PLOAN1 / PLAN1 < 5.0 PLOAN1: When the light ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° at infinity focus is used as an off-axis ray, the distance that the off-axis chief ray passes through the concave meniscus lens component N1 (however, when 2ω < 180°, the light ray incident at the object-side incident angle ω is used as an off-axis ray) PLAN1: The thickness on the optical axis of the concave meniscus lens component N1

[0052] Conditional expression (9) defines the ratio of the passing distances of the on-axis ray and the off-axis chief ray passing through the concave meniscus lens component N1. The definition of the off-axis ray is that a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° when focused at infinity is defined as the off-axis ray (however, when 2ω < 180°, a ray incident at the object-side incident angle ω is defined as the off-axis ray). Since the lens on the object side of the large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens according to the present invention has a concave meniscus shape with a convex surface facing the object side, it has the characteristic that the passing distance of the off-axis ray within the lens is large with respect to the on-axis ray. Also, when the lens shape is such that the radius of curvature of the surface on the image side is smaller than that of the surface on the object side (a lens shape with a large sag amount on the image side surface and a large decentration ratio), the difference in the passing distances of the off-axis ray and the on-axis ray within the lens becomes larger. For miniaturizing the ultra-wide angle lens, it is effective to use a high refractive index optical material for the lens on the object side. However, generally, the higher the refractive index of the optical material, the lower the internal transmittance of the optical material tends to be, and particularly the transmittance on the short wavelength side deteriorates, so that the lens appears yellowish. When such an optical material with a low internal transmittance is used for the concave meniscus lens component N1, if the difference in the passing distances of the on-axis ray and the off-axis ray is not kept within an appropriate range, a phenomenon where the color tone varies depending on the angle of view (the image becomes more yellowish toward the periphery of the screen) occurs, which is not preferable. The same phenomenon also occurs in the concave meniscus lens component N2 that takes a similar optical path to the concave meniscus lens component N1, but the concave meniscus lens component N1 with a larger lens diameter and a longer ray passing distance within the lens has a greater influence.

[0053] When the ratio of the passing distances of the on-axis ray and the off-axis chief ray passing through the concave meniscus lens component N1 exceeds the upper limit of conditional expression (9), the passing distance of the off-axis ray becomes larger with respect to the on-axis ray passing through the concave meniscus lens component N1. Therefore, the transmittance of the off-axis ray decreases significantly with respect to the transmittance of the on-axis ray, and the difference in color tone depending on the angle of view becomes large, which is not preferable.

[0054] When the ratio of the passing distances of the on-axis ray and the off-axis chief ray passing through the concave meniscus lens component N1 becomes smaller than the lower limit of conditional expression (9), the negative refractive power of the concave meniscus lens component N1 is insufficient, and to compensate for this, the refractive power of the concave meniscus component N2 becomes too strong, leading to deterioration of the astigmatism and field curvature, which is not preferable.

[0055] Regarding conditional expression (9), it is desirable to define the upper limit value as 4.2 and the lower limit value as 2.0 to make the above-described effect more certain.

[0056] In the large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of the present invention, it is desirable that the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2 satisfy the following conditional expression (10). (10) 0.3 < PLOAN1 / PLOAN2 < 3.5 PLOAN1: When a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° at infinity focus is used as the off-axis ray, the distance that the off-axis chief ray passes through the concave meniscus lens component N1 (however, when 2ω < 180°, the ray incident at the object-side incident angle ω is used as the off-axis ray) PLOAN2: When a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° at infinity focus is used as the off-axis ray, the distance that the off-axis chief ray passes through the concave meniscus lens component N2 (however, when 2ω < 180°, the ray incident at the object-side incident angle ω is used as the off-axis ray)

[0057] Conditional expression (10) defines the ratio of the passing distances of chief off-axis rays passing through the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2. Note that the off-axis ray is defined as the ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° when focused at infinity (however, when 2ω < 180°, the ray incident at the object-side incident angle ω is defined as the off-axis ray). In the explanation of conditional expression (9), it was specified that the difference in the passing distances of the on-axis ray and the off-axis ray of the concave meniscus lens component N1 may affect the change in color tone due to the angle of view. The same phenomenon also occurs in the concave meniscus lens component N2 with a similar lens shape and a similar ray path. Therefore, by setting the passing distances of the off-axis rays passing through the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2 within an appropriate range, it is possible to obtain a good image with less change in color tone due to the angle of view.

[0058] When the ratio of the passing distances of the chief off-axis rays passing through the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2 exceeds the upper limit of conditional expression (10), the distance of the off-axis ray passing through the concave meniscus lens component N1 increases, and the change in color tone due to the angle of view is likely to occur. Also, since the decentration ratio of the concave meniscus lens component N1 with the largest lens diameter changes in the direction of increasing, the weight of the optical system increases, which is not preferable. Furthermore, the negative refractive power of the concave meniscus lens component N1 becomes too strong, making it difficult to correct the astigmatism and field curvature, which is not preferable.

[0059] When the ratio of the passing distances of the chief off-axis rays passing through the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2 is less than the lower limit of conditional expression (10), the distance of the off-axis ray passing through the concave meniscus lens component N2 increases, and the change in color tone due to the angle of view is likely to occur. Also, since the decentration ratio of the concave meniscus lens component N2 changes in the direction of increasing, the negative refractive power of the concave meniscus lens component N2 becomes too strong, leading to the deterioration of astigmatism and field curvature, which is not preferable.

[0060] Regarding conditional expression (10), it is desirable to define the upper limit value as 2.8 and the lower limit value as 0.6 to make the above effects more certain.

[0061] In the large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of the present invention, it is desirable that the second lens group G2 has a convex lens LP1 that satisfies the following conditional expressions (11) to (13). (11) 1.60 < ndLP1 (12) vdLP1 < 35.0 (13) 0.018 < ΔPgFLP1 ndLP1: Refractive index of the convex lens LP1 vdLP1: Abbe number of the convex lens LP1 ΔPgFLP1: Abnormal dispersibility of the convex lens LP1

[0062] Equations (11) to (13) define the desirable refractive index, Abbe number, and anomalous dispersion range of the convex lens LP1 of the second lens group G2. For a convex lens on the image side of the aperture of a retrofocus type ultra-wide-angle lens, it is common to arrange a glass material with positive anomalous dispersion. This is related to the tendency of magnification chromatic aberration and axial chromatic aberration to occur in a retrofocus type ultra-wide-angle lens. For magnification chromatic aberration, the C-line tends to remain in the over direction, and when designed to correct the C-line and g-line, the secondary spectrum will remain in the over direction. Also, for axial chromatic aberration, in a general single-focus lens, the C-line tends to remain in the over direction (equivalent to the focal length of the C-line becoming longer), and when designed to correct the C-line and g-line, the secondary spectrum will remain in the over direction. By using a glass material with positive anomalous dispersion for the convex lens arranged on the image side of the aperture, the correction directions of magnification chromatic aberration and axial chromatic aberration coincide, making it possible to correct chromatic aberration more effectively. Generally, as glass materials with positive anomalous dispersion, fluorite and special low-dispersion glasses equivalent to it are often used. Since these special low-dispersion glasses have many low-refractive-index glass materials, using them frequently for the convex lens on the image side of the aperture will work disadvantageously for the correction of the Petzval sum and make it difficult to correct field curvature. Since the large aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lens of the present invention has an F-number of less than 1.9 and is bright, correction of axial chromatic aberration is essential for high performance, and it is necessary to frequently use a special low-dispersion glass with positive anomalous dispersion for the convex lens on the image side of the aperture. However, in order to correct the deteriorating Petzval sum, a glass material (such as E-FDS1-W if it is a glass material of HOYA) with a refractive index of 1.6 or more and positive anomalous dispersion is arranged in the second lens group G2 on the image side of the aperture, so that magnification chromatic aberration and axial chromatic aberration can be effectively corrected and field curvature can also be appropriately corrected.

[0063] When the refractive index of the convex lens LP1 drops beyond the lower limit of Equation (11), the Petzval sum deteriorates and it becomes difficult to correct field curvature, which is not preferable.

[0064] Regarding the conditional expression (11), it is desirable to define the lower limit as 1.65, and more desirably as 1.85, so that the above-described effect can be made more certain.

[0065] For the optical material within the range of the conditional expression (11), generally, the smaller the Abbe number, the greater the positive abnormal dispersibility. As the Abbe number increases, the positive abnormal dispersibility decreases, and some optical materials have negative abnormal dispersibility. Therefore, if the Abbe number of the convex lens LP1 exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (12), the abnormal dispersibility decreases, making it difficult to correct the magnification chromatic aberration and the axial chromatic aberration, which is not preferable.

[0066] Regarding the conditional expression (12), it is desirable to define the upper limit as 32.0, and more desirably as 28.0, so that the above-described effect can be made more certain.

[0067] If the abnormal dispersibility of the convex lens LP1 becomes smaller beyond the lower limit of the conditional expression (13), it becomes difficult to correct the magnification chromatic aberration and the axial chromatic aberration, which is not preferable.

[0068] Regarding the conditional expression (13), it is desirable to define the lower limit as 0.020, and more desirably as 0.025, so that the above-described effect can be made more certain.

[0069] In the large-aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lens of the present invention, it is desirable that the first lens group G1 has a negative refractive power and satisfies the following conditional expression (14). (14) -0.40 < f / f1 < 0.70 f: The focal length of the entire system when focused at infinity f1: The focal length of the first lens group G1 when focused at infinity

[0070] The conditional expression (14) defines the ratio of the focal length of the entire system when focused at infinity to the focal length of the first lens group G1 when focused at infinity. By satisfying the conditional expression (14), while realizing the wide-angleization of the optical system, the enlargement of the optical system is prevented.

[0071] If the ratio of the focal length of the entire system at infinity focus to the focal length of the first lens group G1 at infinity focus exceeds the upper limit of conditional expression (14) and increases, f1 will approach 0 while taking a positive value, and the positive refractive power of the first lens group G1 will increase, making it difficult to achieve a wide-angle effect, which is not preferable.

[0072] If the ratio of the focal length of the entire system at infinity focus to the focal length of the first lens group G1 at infinity focus is less than the lower limit of conditional expression (14), f1 will approach 0 while taking a negative value, and the negative refractive power of the first lens group G1 will become too strong, leading to deterioration of spherical aberration and field curvature, which is not preferable.

[0073] Regarding conditional expression (14), it is desirable to define the upper limit value as 0.60 and the lower limit value as -0.25 to more surely achieve the above-mentioned effects.

[0074] In the large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of the present invention, it is desirable that the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 having positive refractive power satisfy the following conditional expression (15). (15) -0.8 < f2 / f1 < 2.7 f1: Focal length of the first lens group G1 at infinity focus f2: Focal length of the second lens group G2 at infinity focus

[0075] Conditional expression (15) defines the ratio of the focal length of the second lens group G2 at infinity focus to the focal length of the first lens group G1 at infinity focus. By satisfying conditional expression (15), while achieving a wide-angle effect of the optical system, the enlargement of the optical system is prevented.

[0076] If the ratio of the focal length of the second lens group G2 at infinity focus to the focal length of the first lens group G1 at infinity focus exceeds the upper limit of conditional expression (15) and increases, f1 will approach 0 while taking a positive value, and the positive refractive power of the first lens group G1 will increase, making it difficult to achieve a wide-angle effect, which is not preferable.

[0077] When the ratio of the focal length of the second lens group G2 to the focal length of the first lens group G1 at infinity focus becomes smaller than the lower limit of conditional expression (15), f1 approaches 0 while taking a negative value, and the negative refractive power of the first lens group G1 becomes too strong, leading to deterioration of astigmatism and field curvature, which is not preferable.

[0078] Regarding conditional expression (15), it is desirable to define the upper limit value as 2.6 and the lower limit value as -0.7, so that the above-mentioned effects can be made more certain.

[0079] In the large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of the present invention, it is desirable that the second lens group G2 has at least one convex lens satisfying the following conditional expression (16), and it is desirable that the second lens group G2 satisfies the following conditional expression (17). (16) 0.3 < G2LPAXh / G2LPOAh < 2.7 (17) 0.004 < G2LPAve G2LPAXh: Axial marginal ray height incident on the convex lens at infinity focus with the aperture wide open G2LPOAh: Off-axis chief ray height when a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° is incident on the convex lens at infinity focus (however, when 2ω < 180°, it is the off-axis chief ray height incident at the object-side incident angle ω) G2LPAve: Average value of the anomalous dispersibility of the convex lenses satisfying conditional expression (16)

[0080] Generally, the longitudinal chromatic aberration of an optical system composed of thin lenses is given by the following (Reference formula 1) as the sum of each lens, and the axial chromatic aberration is given by (Reference formula 2). (Reference formula 1) Σ(h · hb · φ / v) (Reference formula 2) Σ(h · h · φ / v) h: Axial marginal ray height hb: Off-axis chief ray height φ: Refractive power v: Abbe number

[0081] From (Reference Formula 1) and (Reference Formula 2), it can be seen that the lateral chromatic aberration has a greater impact on lenses passing through positions with higher off-axis chief ray heights, and the axial chromatic aberration has a greater impact on lenses passing through positions with higher axial marginal ray heights. Therefore, by appropriately setting the difference in height between the axial marginal ray height and the off-axis chief ray height, and the dispersion characteristics of the optical material, it becomes possible to highly correct the lateral chromatic aberration and the axial chromatic aberration.

[0082] Condition formula (16) defines the ratio of the axial marginal ray height to the off-axis chief ray height incident on the convex lens included in the second lens group G2. Note that both the axial marginal ray height and the off-axis chief ray height incident on the convex lens included in the second lens group G2 define the ray height at the time of incidence, and thus correspond to the ray height on the object side surface of each convex lens. As described above, when using an optical material with a large positive anomalous dispersion for the convex lens of the second lens group G2 arranged on the image side of the aperture stop, it is effective for correcting both the lateral chromatic aberration and the axial chromatic aberration. In particular, by arranging a convex lens using an optical material having a positive anomalous dispersion within the range satisfying condition formula (16), it becomes possible to further enhance the effect. Note that G2LPAXh defines the axial marginal ray height incident on the convex lens included in the second lens group G2. Since the axial marginal ray does not experience a reversal in the positive or negative of the ray height before and after the aperture stop, it is always calculated as a positive value in the calculation of this condition formula. Also, G2LPOAh defines the off-axis chief ray height when a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° is incident on the convex lens in the case of infinite focus. Although it can take both positive and negative values, in the calculation of this condition formula, it is calculated for the off-axis chief ray that takes a positive value on the image side of the aperture stop.

[0083] When the ratio of the axial marginal ray height to the off-axis chief ray height incident on the convex lens included in the second lens group G2 exceeds the upper limit of condition formula (16), the axial marginal ray height decreases with respect to the off-axis chief ray height, so that the correction effect of the axial chromatic aberration deteriorates, which is not preferable.

[0084] When the ratio of the on-axis marginal ray height to the off-axis chief ray height incident on the convex lens included in the second lens group G2 becomes smaller than the lower limit of conditional expression (16), the off-axis chief ray height decreases with respect to the on-axis marginal ray height, and the correction effect of longitudinal chromatic aberration deteriorates, which is not preferable.

[0085] Conditional expression (17) defines the average value of the anomalous dispersibility of the convex lens that satisfies conditional expression (16) included in the second lens group G2. The greater the use of a glass material with a large positive anomalous dispersibility, the higher the correction effect of longitudinal chromatic aberration and axial chromatic aberration.

[0086] When the average value of the anomalous dispersibility of the convex lens that is included in the second lens group G2 and satisfies conditional expression (16) becomes smaller than the lower limit of conditional expression (17), the correction effect of longitudinal chromatic aberration and axial chromatic aberration weakens, which is not preferable.

[0087] Regarding conditional expression (17), it is desirable to define the lower limit value as 0.009 to make the above-described effect more certain.

[0088] In the large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of the present invention, it is desirable that the concave meniscus lens component N1 includes a concave lens that satisfies the following conditional expression (18). (18) 1.7 < ndN1n ndN1n: The refractive index of the concave lens included in the concave meniscus lens component N1

[0089] Conditional expression (18) defines the refractive index of the concave lens included in the concave meniscus lens component N1 with the convex surface facing the object side. By using a high refractive index material for the concave lens, it becomes possible to miniaturize the optical system.

[0090] When the refractive index of the concave lens included in the concave meniscus lens component N1 with the convex surface facing the object side becomes lower beyond the lower limit of the conditional expression (18), the radius of curvature (N1R2) of the image side surface of the concave meniscus lens component N1 becomes smaller in order to maintain the refractive power, and the aberration and field curvature deteriorate, which is not preferable. Further, it acts in the direction of increasing the eccentric thickness ratio of the concave meniscus lens component N1, and since the weight of the concave meniscus lens component N1 increases, it is not preferable.

[0091] Regarding the conditional expression (18), it is desirable to define the lower limit value as 1.8 so that the above-described effects can be made more certain.

[0092] The large-aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lens of the present invention preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (19). (19) 5.00 < LT / BF < 12.00 LT: The distance on the optical axis from the most object-side lens surface to the most image-side lens surface when focused at infinity BF: The distance on the optical axis from the most image-side lens surface to the image plane when focused at infinity

[0093] The conditional expression (19) defines the ratio of the distance on the optical axis from the most object-side lens surface to the most image-side lens surface when focused at infinity to the distance on the optical axis from the most image-side lens surface to the image plane when focused at infinity. Note that a parallel flat plate that is not adjacent to the image plane or has an air gap and is adjacent is not counted as a lens. Further, when calculating the distance on the optical axis from the most image-side lens surface to the image plane, it is calculated with the air-equivalent length obtained by replacing the parallel flat plate with air. By satisfying the conditional expression (19), it becomes possible to achieve miniaturization of the optical system.

[0094] When the ratio of the distance on the optical axis from the most object-side lens surface to the most image-side lens surface when focused at infinity to the distance on the optical axis from the most image-side lens surface to the image plane when focused at infinity becomes larger beyond the upper limit of the conditional expression (19), the optical system becomes enlarged, which is not preferable.

[0095] When the ratio of the distance on the optical axis from the most object-side lens surface to the most image-side lens surface at infinity focus to the distance on the optical axis from the most image-side lens surface to the image plane at infinity focus becomes smaller than the lower limit of conditional expression (19), it becomes necessary to reduce LT, and it becomes difficult and undesirable to correct spherical aberration, astigmatism, and field curvature while maintaining an aperture ratio of less than F1.9.

[0096] Regarding conditional expression (19), it is desirable to define the upper limit value as 11.00 and the lower limit value as 5.35, and more preferably, the upper limit value as 10.00 and the lower limit value as 6.20, so that the above-described effects can be made more certain.

[0097] The large-aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lens of the present invention preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (20). (20) 2.5 < |LT / iOAh| < 18.0 LT: The distance on the optical axis from the most object-side lens surface to the most image-side lens surface at infinity focus iOAh: The image height of the off-axis chief ray when a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° at infinity focus forms an image on the image plane (however, when 2ω < 180°, it is the image height of the off-axis chief ray incident at the object-side incident angle ω)

[0098] Conditional expression (20) defines the absolute value of the ratio of the distance on the optical axis from the most object-side lens surface to the most image-side lens surface at infinity focus to the image height of the off-axis chief ray when a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° at infinity focus forms an image on the image plane (however, when 2ω < 180°, it is the image height of the off-axis chief ray incident at the object-side incident angle ω). By satisfying conditional expression (19), it becomes possible to achieve miniaturization of the optical system.

[0099] When the ratio of the distance on the optical axis from the most object-side lens surface to the most image-side lens surface at infinity focus to the image height of the off-axis chief ray when a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° at infinity focus forms an image on the image plane becomes larger than the upper limit of conditional expression (20), the optical system becomes enlarged with respect to the maximum image height of the optical system, which is not preferable.

[0100] When the ratio of the distance on the optical axis from the most object-side lens surface to the most image-side lens surface at infinity focus to the off-axis chief ray imaging height when a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° at infinity focus forms an image on the image plane is less than the lower limit of conditional expression (20), it becomes necessary to reduce LT. While maintaining a large aperture ratio of less than F1.9, it becomes difficult to correct spherical aberration, astigmatism, and field curvature, which is not preferable.

[0101] Regarding conditional expression (20), it is desirable to define the upper limit value as 16.0 and the lower limit value as 3.1, and more preferably, the upper limit value as 14.0 and the lower limit value as 4.1, so that the above-described effects can be made more certain.

[0102] In the large-aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lens of the present invention, the concave meniscus lens component N2 is preferably the concave meniscus lens component with a convex surface facing the object side that is arranged second from the most object side among the concave meniscus lens components with a convex surface facing the object side. Since the concave meniscus lens component N2 plays a role of introducing off-axis light rays incident from the object side at an angle close to the optical axis, by being arranged more on the object side, it becomes possible to introduce off-axis light rays while preventing the enlargement of the optical system.

[0103] In the large-aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lens of the present invention, it is desirable that the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2 are arranged continuously from the most object side. Since both the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2 play a role of gently introducing off-axis light rays incident from the object side at an angle close to the optical axis, by being arranged continuously from the most object side, it becomes possible to suppress the enlargement of the optical system.

[0104] In the large-aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lens of the present invention, it is desirable that the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2 are composed of spherical lenses. By using spherical lenses for the concave meniscus lens component N1 and the concave meniscus lens component N2, the processability of the optical element becomes easy, the degree of freedom in selecting optical materials increases, and it becomes easier to correct chromatic aberration of magnification.

[0105] The large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of the present invention has a focusing function from infinity to a close object. In this case, it is desirable to focus by moving part or all of the optical system in the optical axis direction.

[0106] Next, the lens configuration and numerical examples of the embodiments related to the large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of the present invention will be described. In the following description, the lens configuration will be described in the order from the object side to the image side.

[0107] Examples 1 to 14 of the present invention are all fisheye lenses using the equal solid angle projection method. The object plane when outputting each aberration diagram is a plane (curvature radius is ∞) for evaluation. Therefore, particularly in the evaluation at a finite distance where the object distance is small, significant field curvature appears in the aberration diagram because the object plane is a plane.

[0108] In [surface data], the surface number is the number of the lens surface or the aperture stop S counted from the object side, r is the curvature radius of each lens surface, d is the interval between each lens surface, nd is the refractive index for the d-line (wavelength 587.56 nm), vd is the Abbe number for the d-line, and ΔPgF is a numerical value calculated from the formula of PgF - 0.64833 + 0.00180 × vd. Also, as examples of the glass corresponding to the refractive index, Abbe number, and ΔPgF described in [surface data], the names of the glass materials of HOYA Corporation, Ohara Corporation, and Hikari Glass Co., Ltd. are described.

[0109] An asterisk (*) attached to the surface number indicates that the lens surface shape is an aspherical surface. Also, BF is the back focus, and the object plane distance indicates the distance from the subject to the first lens surface.

[0110] A (stop) attached to the surface number indicates that the aperture stop S is located at that position. ∞ (infinity) is entered for the curvature radius with respect to the plane or the aperture stop S.

[0111] [Aspherical Data] shows the values of the coefficients that give the aspherical shape of the lens surface marked with * in [Surface Data]. The shape of the aspherical surface is represented by the following formula. In the following formula, the displacement in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis from the optical axis is y, the displacement in the optical axis direction from the intersection of the aspherical surface and the optical axis (sag amount) is z, the radius of curvature of the reference spherical surface is r, and the conic coefficient is represented by K. Also, the aspherical coefficients of the 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, and 16th orders are represented by A4, A6, A8, A10, A12, A14, and A16, respectively. TIFF2025099854000002.tif17166

[0112] [Various Data] shows values such as the focal length in the in-focus state for each shooting distance.

[0113] [Variable Interval Data] shows the values of the variable interval and BF in the in-focus state for various shooting distances.

[0114] [Lens Group Data] shows the surface number closest to the object side that constitutes each lens group and the combined focal length of the entire group.

[0115] [Convex Lens in the Second Lens Group G2 that Satisfies Conditional Expression (16)] shows the object-side surface number of the convex lens in the second lens group G2 that satisfies conditional expression (16), the corresponding optical material, the on-axis marginal ray height (G2LPAXh) incident on the convex lens at infinity focus with the aperture wide open, the off-axis principal ray height when a ray with an object-side incident angle of 90° is incident on the convex lens at infinity focus (however, when 2ω < 180°, it is the off-axis principal ray height incident at the object-side incident angle ω: G2LPOAh), the ratio of G2LPAXh to G2LPOAh, and the value of ΔPgF.

[0116] Also, in the aberration diagrams corresponding to each embodiment, d, g, and C represent the d-line, g-line, and C-line, respectively, and ΔS and ΔM represent the sagittal image plane and meridional image plane, respectively.

[0117] Note that, unless otherwise specified, the units of the focal length f, the radius of curvature r, the lens surface interval d, and other lengths described in all the following specifications are millimeters (mm). However, in the optical system, the same optical performance can be obtained in proportional magnification and reduction, so it is not limited to this.

[0118] Also, as the lens name, the lens arranged closest to the object side is designated as L1, and the lenses arranged second and third toward the image side thereafter are sequentially designated as L2 and L3, respectively.

[0119] Also, in the lens configuration diagrams of each embodiment, I is the image plane, F is the filter, and the dashed-dotted line passing through the center is the optical axis.

[0120] [Embodiment 1] FIG. 1 is a lens configuration diagram of the large-aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lens according to Embodiment 1 at infinity focus.

[0121] The large-aperture ratio ultra-wide-angle lens in FIG. 1 is composed of, in order from the object side, a first lens group G1 having a negative refractive power, an aperture stop S, and a second lens group G2 having a positive refractive power.

[0122] The first lens group G1 is composed of, in order from the object side, a meniscus lens component N1 consisting of a concave meniscus lens L1 with a convex surface facing the object side, a meniscus lens component N2 consisting of a concave meniscus lens L2 with a convex surface facing the object side, a cemented lens of a convex meniscus lens L3 with a convex surface facing the image side and a biconcave lens L4, a cemented lens of a biconcave lens L5 and a convex meniscus lens L6 with a convex surface facing the object side, a biconvex lens L7, a biconvex aspherical lens L8, and a cemented lens of a concave meniscus lens L9 with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex meniscus lens L10 with a convex surface facing the object side.

[0123] The second lens group G2 consists of, in order from the object side, a cemented lens composed of a convex meniscus lens L11 with a convex surface facing the image side, a convex meniscus lens L12 with a convex surface facing the image side, and a concave meniscus lens L13 with a convex surface facing the image side, a biconvex lens L14, a biconvex lens L15, a biconvex lens L16, a cemented lens composed of a biconvex lens L17 and a biconcave lens L18, and a biconvex aspherical lens L19.

[0124] As an example of focusing, among the lenses constituting the first lens group G1, by moving the lenses from L7 to L10 integrally along the optical axis toward the image side, focusing from an infinite object to a close object is possible. Nevertheless, it is also possible to perform focusing by moving part or all of the optical system in the optical axis direction.

[0127] [Example 2] Fig. 6 is a lens configuration diagram at infinity focus of the large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens according to Example 2.

[0128] The large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of Fig. 6 is composed of a first lens group G1 having a negative refractive power, an aperture stop S, and a second lens group G2 having a positive refractive power, in order from the object side.

[0129] The first lens group G1 is composed of, in order from the object side, a concave meniscus lens component N1 consisting of a concave meniscus lens L1 with a convex surface facing the object side, a concave meniscus lens component N2 consisting of a concave meniscus lens L2 with a convex surface facing the object side, a cemented lens of a convex meniscus lens L3 with a convex surface facing the image side and a biconcave lens L4, a cemented lens of a biconcave lens L5 and a biconvex lens L6, a biconvex lens L7, a biconvex aspherical lens L8, and a cemented lens of a concave meniscus lens L9 with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex meniscus lens L10 with a convex surface facing the object side.

[0131] As an example of focusing, among the lenses constituting the first lens group G1, by moving the lenses from L7 to L10 integrally along the optical axis toward the image side, focusing from an infinite object to a close-distance object is possible. Nevertheless, it is also possible to perform focusing by moving part or all of the optical system in the optical axis direction.

[0134] [Example 3] FIG. 11 is a lens configuration diagram at infinity focus of the large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens according to Example 3.

[0135] The large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of FIG. 11 is composed of, in order from the object side, a first lens group G1 having a negative refractive power, an aperture stop S, and a second lens group G2 having a positive refractive power.

[0141] [Example 4] FIG. 16 is a lens configuration diagram at infinity focus of a large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens according to Example 4.

[0142] The large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of FIG. 16 is composed of, in order from the object side, a first lens group G1 having a negative refractive power, an aperture stop S, and a second lens group G2 having a positive refractive power.

[0143] The first lens group G1 is composed of, in order from the object side, a concave meniscus lens component N1 consisting of a concave meniscus lens L1 with a convex surface facing the object side, a concave meniscus lens L2 with a convex surface facing the object side and a combined lens of a concave meniscus lens L3 with a convex surface facing the object side, a convex meniscus lens L4 with a convex surface facing the image side and a combined lens of a concave meniscus lens L5 with a convex surface facing the image side, a convex meniscus lens L6 with a convex surface facing the image side, a combined lens of a biconcave lens L7 and a convex meniscus lens L8 with a convex surface facing the object side, a biconvex lens L9, a biconvex aspherical lens L10, and a combined lens of a concave meniscus lens L11 with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex meniscus lens L12 with a convex surface facing the object side.

[0144] The second lens group G2 is composed of, in order from the object side, a convex meniscus lens L13 with a convex surface facing the image side, a combined lens of a convex meniscus lens L14 with a convex surface facing the image side and a concave meniscus lens L15 with a convex surface facing the image side, a biconvex lens L16, a biconvex lens L17, a biconvex lens L18, a combined lens of a biconvex lens L19 and a biconcave lens L20, and an aspherical biconvex lens L21.

[0145] As an example of focusing, among the lenses constituting the first lens group G1, by moving the lenses from L9 to L12 integrally along the optical axis toward the image side, focusing from an infinite object to a close-distance object is possible. Nevertheless, it is also possible to perform focusing by moving part or all of the optical system in the optical axis direction.

[0162] [Example 7] FIG. 31 is a lens configuration diagram at infinity focus of the large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens according to Example 7.

[0163] The large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of FIG. 31 is composed of, in order from the object side, a first lens group G1 having a negative refractive power, an aperture stop S, and a second lens group G2 having a positive refractive power.

[0164] The first lens group G1 is composed of, in order from the object side, a concave meniscus lens component N1 consisting of a concave meniscus lens L1 with a convex surface facing the object side, a concave meniscus lens component N2 consisting of a concave meniscus lens L2 with a convex surface facing the object side, a convex meniscus lens L3 with a convex surface facing the image side and a cemented lens of a concave meniscus lens L4 with a convex surface facing the image side, a cemented lens of a biconcave lens L5 and a convex meniscus lens L6 with a convex surface facing the object side, a biconvex lens L7, a biconvex aspherical lens L8, and a cemented lens of a concave meniscus lens L9 with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex meniscus lens L10 with a convex surface facing the object side.

[0165] The second lens group G2 is composed of, in order from the object side, a convex meniscus lens L11 with a convex surface facing the image side, a cemented lens of a convex meniscus lens L12 with a convex surface facing the image side and a concave meniscus lens L13 with a convex surface facing the image side, a biconvex lens L14, a biconvex lens L15, a biconvex lens L16, a cemented lens of a biconvex lens L17 and a biconcave lens L18, and a biconvex aspherical lens L19.

[0166] As an example of focusing, among the lenses constituting the first lens group G1, by moving the lenses from L7 to L10 integrally along the optical axis toward the image side, focusing from an infinite object to a close object is possible. Nevertheless, it is also possible to perform focusing by moving part or all of the optical system in the optical axis direction.

[0170] The large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of Figure 36 is composed of, in order from the object side, a first lens group G1 having a positive refractive power, an aperture stop S, and a second lens group G2 having a positive refractive power.

[0171] The first lens group G1 is composed of, in order from the object side, a concave meniscus lens component N1 consisting of a concave meniscus lens L1 with a convex surface facing the object side, a concave meniscus lens component N2 consisting of a concave meniscus lens L2 with a convex surface facing the object side, a combined lens of a concave meniscus lens L3 with a convex surface facing the image side and a convex meniscus lens L4 with a convex surface facing the image side, a concave meniscus lens L5 with a convex surface facing the image side, a double concave lens L6, a combined lens of a double convex lens L7 and a double concave lens L8, a convex meniscus lens L9 with a convex surface facing the object side, a double convex aspherical lens L10, a double convex lens L11, and a combined lens of a concave meniscus lens L12 with a convex surface facing the image side.

[0173] As an example of focusing, among the lenses constituting the first lens group G1, by moving L9 toward the image side along the optical axis, focusing from an infinite object to a close-distance object is possible.

[0183] [Example 10] FIG. 46 is a lens configuration diagram at infinity focus of a large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens according to Example 10.

[0184] The large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of FIG. 46 is composed of a first lens group G1 having a negative refractive power, an aperture stop S, and a second lens group G2 having a positive refractive power, in order from the object side.

[0185] The first lens group G1 is composed of, in order from the object side, a concave meniscus lens component N1 consisting of a concave meniscus lens L1 with a convex surface facing the object side, a concave meniscus lens component N2 consisting of a concave meniscus lens L2 with a convex surface facing the object side, a cemented lens of a convex meniscus lens L3 with a convex surface facing the image side and a biconcave lens L4, a cemented lens of a biconcave lens L5 and a convex meniscus lens L6 with a convex surface facing the object side, a biconvex lens L7, a biconvex aspherical lens L8, and a cemented lens of a concave meniscus lens L9 with a convex surface facing the object side and a convex meniscus lens L10 with a convex surface facing the object side.

[0186] The second lens group G2 is composed of, in order from the object side, a convex meniscus lens L11 with a convex surface facing the image side, a cemented lens of a convex meniscus lens L12 with a convex surface facing the image side and a concave meniscus lens L13 with a convex surface facing the image side, a biconvex lens L14, a biconvex lens L15, a biconvex lens L16, a cemented lens of a biconvex lens L17 and a biconcave lens L18, and a biconvex aspherical lens L19.

[0187] As an example of focusing, among the lenses constituting the first lens group G1, by moving the lenses from L7 to L10 integrally along the optical axis toward the image side, focusing from an infinite object to a close object is possible. Nevertheless, it is also possible to perform focusing by moving a part or the whole of the optical system in the optical axis direction.

[0197] [Example 12] FIG. 56 is a lens configuration diagram at infinity focus of the large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens according to Example 12.

[0198] The large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of FIG. 56 is composed of, in order from the object side, a first lens group G1 having a negative refractive power, an aperture stop S, and a second lens group G2 having a positive refractive power.

[0199] The first lens group G1 is composed of, in order from the object side, a concave meniscus lens component N1 composed of a concave meniscus lens L1 with a convex surface facing the object side, a concave meniscus lens component N2 composed of a concave meniscus lens L2 with a convex surface facing the object side, a convex meniscus lens L3 with a convex surface facing the image side and a cemented lens of two concave lenses L4, two concave lenses L5, a cemented lens of two convex lenses L6 and two concave lenses L7, a convex meniscus lens L8 with a convex surface facing the object side, two convex aspherical lenses L9, and a cemented lens of two concave lenses L10 and two convex lenses L11.

[0204] [Example 13] FIG. 61 is a lens configuration diagram at infinity focus of a large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens according to Example 13.

[0205] The large aperture ratio ultra-wide angle lens of FIG. 61 is composed of, in order from the object side, a first lens group G1 having a positive refractive power, an aperture stop S, and a second lens group G2 having a positive refractive power.

[0206] The first lens group G1 is composed of, in order from the object side, a concave meniscus lens component N1 consisting of a concave meniscus lens L1 with a convex surface facing the object side, a concave meniscus lens component N2 consisting of a concave meniscus lens L2 with a convex surface facing the object side, a convex meniscus lens L3 with a convex surface facing the image side, a bi-concave lens L4, a bi-concave lens L5 and a cemented lens of a bi-convex lens L6, a bi-convex lens L7, and a convex meniscus aspherical lens L8 with a convex surface facing the object side.

[0207] The second lens group G2 is composed of, in order from the object side, a cemented lens of a convex meniscus lens L9 with a convex surface facing the image side and a concave meniscus lens L10 with a convex surface facing the image side, a convex meniscus lens L11 with a convex surface facing the object side, a concave meniscus lens L12 with a convex surface facing the object side and a cemented lens of a bi-convex lens L13, a cemented lens of a bi-convex lens L14 and a bi-concave lens L15, and a bi-convex aspherical lens L16.

[0208] As an example of focusing, among the lenses constituting the first lens group G1, by moving the lenses from L7 to L8 integrally toward the image side along the optical axis, focusing from an infinite object to a close object becomes possible. Nevertheless, it is also possible to perform focusing by moving a part or the whole of the optical system in the optical axis direction.
