Abstract

An optical imaging system having a single focus includes a negative first lens group, an aperture stop, and a positive second lens group arranged in order from an object side. The first lens group includes a positive first front lens group including a positive single lens and a negative first rear lens group including a negative meniscus lens and at least one positive lens, arranged in order from the object side. The second lens group includes a positive second front lens group including a cemented lens of a negative lens and a positive lens and a positive second rear lens group including at least one positive lens, arranged in order from the object side. All of the lenses of the optical imaging system are spherical glass lenses.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An optical imaging system having a single focus, comprising:
a negative first lens group, an aperture stop, and a positive second lens group arranged in order from an object side,
the first lens group comprising a positive first front lens group including a positive single lens and a negative first rear lens group including a negative meniscus lens and at least one positive lens, arranged in order from the object side, and
the second lens group comprising a positive second front lens group including a cemented lens of a negative lens and a positive lens and a positive second rear lens group including at least one positive lens, arranged in order from the object side, wherein
all of the lenses of the optical imaging system are spherical glass lenses,
the first lens group is configured to satisfy the following conditions:
2.5< f 1 F/f< 7.1  (1)

−3.7< f 1 R/f<− 0.8  (2)

where f is a focal length of the entire system relative to a d-line, f 1 F is a focal length of the first front lens group, and f 1 R is a focal length of the first rear lens group,
the second front lens group is configured to satisfy the following condition:
2.0< f 2 F/f< 12.64.09  (3)

where f is the focal length of the entire system relative to the d-line and f 2 F is a focal length of the second front lens group, and
the optical imaging system is configured to satisfy the following condition:
2.9< L/f< 4.0  (4)

where f is the focal length of the entire system relative to the d-line and L is a distance between a lens surface of the positive single lens of the first lens group on the object side and an image plane.

2. The optical imaging system according to claim 1 , wherein:
the first lens group includes the positive single lens having a convex surface on the object side, the negative meniscus lens having a convex surface on the object side, and a positive lens having a convex surface on the object side arranged in order from the object side.

3. The optical imaging system according to claim 1 , wherein:
the cemented lens of the second front lens group has a concave surface on the object side and a convex surface on an image side.

4. The optical imaging system according to claim 1 , wherein
the second rear lens group includes a positive meniscus lens having a convex surface on the image side and a positive lens having a convex surface on the object side.

5. A camera comprising the optical imaging system according to claim 1 .

6. The camera according to claim 5 , further comprising a function to convert a captured image into digital information.

7. An in-vehicle camera comprising the optical imaging system according to claim 1 .

8. The optical imaging system according to claim 1 , further comprising a cover glass provided behind the second lens group in order from the object side.

9. The optical imaging system according to claim 8 , further comprising
a filter provided between the second lens group and the cover glass.
