Abstract

A converter optical system includes a first lens having positive refractive power; a second lens having negative refractive power; a third lens having positive refractive power; a fourth lens having negative refractive power; and a fifth lens having positive refractive power; wherein the first to fifth lenses are sequentially disposed in numerical order from the first lens to the fifth lens from an object side of the converter optical system to an image side of the converter optical system; and the fourth lens is bonded to either one or both of the third lens and the fifth lens.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A converter optical system comprising:
a first lens having positive refractive power;
a second lens having negative refractive power;
a third lens having positive refractive power;
a fourth lens having negative refractive power; and
a fifth lens having positive refractive power,
wherein the first to fifth lenses are sequentially disposed in numerical order from the first lens to the fifth lens from an object side of the converter optical system to an image side of the converter optical system,
the fourth lens is bonded to either one or both of the third lens and the fifth lens,
a thickness of the first lens is greater than a thickness of the fifth lens,
the first to fifth lenses are the only lenses that have refractive power in the converter optical system, and
the converter optical system has a magnification of two times or more.

2. The converter optical system of claim 1 , wherein an expression 26<D <45 mm is satisfied, where D is a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to an image-side surface of the fifth lens.

3. The converter optical system of claim 1 , wherein an expression 1.55<n1<1.65 is satisfied, where n1 is a refractive index of the first lens.

4. The converter optical system of claim 1 , wherein an expression f-number <2.0 is satisfied, where f-number is an f-number of the converter optical system.

5. The converter optical system of claim 1 , wherein an object-side surface of the first lens is convex.

6. The converter optical system of claim 1 , wherein an image-side surface of the first lens is concave.

7. The converter optical system of claim 1 , wherein an object-side surface of the second lens is convex.

8. The converter optical system of claim 1 , wherein an image-side surface of the second lens is concave.

9. The converter optical system of claim 1 , wherein both an object-side surface and an image-side surface of the fourth lens are concave.

10. The converter optical system of claim 1 , wherein an object-side surface of the fifth lens is convex.

11. The converter optical system of claim 1 , wherein an expression 1000<f/D is satisfied, where f is an overall focal length of the converter optical system, and D is a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to an image-side surface of the fifth lens.

12. The converter optical system of claim 1 , wherein each of the first to fifth lenses has a single refractive index.
